Even more censorship from lemmy.ml admins

Didn't know it's possible to view who the acting mod was. And I'm not surprised about the account
- It was originally designed to be that way, but when they changed it ig they only changed it on the Lemmy frontend, some UIs will still show it like (I recently discovered) photon and the Voyager app will show it to (iirc only if you're a mod somewhere)
  
  Not sure why some UIs don't show it because the data is given straight to you anyway, and it actually takes more code to hide it under certain conditions

I find most communities on lemmy.ml are fairly reasonable though. Lemmygrad or Hexbear on the other hand... Holy crap! I don't know what the hell bubble those folks live in, but the nonsense they will aggressively barf in your face and the outrageous revisionism is nothing short of astounding.
Those two instances are the only instances where I was told totally seriously that I should "read history" and realize I've been brainwashed about North Korea, and it's actually paradise on Earth. And then when I told them they might be slightly messed up in the head, I was promply banned from that community and 15 others I had never visited before preventively for being a dangerous reactionary 🙂
lemmy.ml is positively tame and civilized compared to those two cesspits.
- That's intentional, they opt to censor like this to prevent their threads from getting crazy in order to avoid larger calls for defederation like what happened with Hex and Grad. But the mask has been falling lately as the Lemmy-verse grows and their instance becomes more and more irrelevant
  
  Well, if I'm honest, I couldn't give the tiniest shit about whatever happens to them as the Lemmyverse grows, and I suppose being banned from most communities on those two instances is proof that my though processes are still sound 🙂
  I'm just genuinely wondering where those people got brainwashed - or brainwashed themselves - to such an extent. It truly is fascinating to witness people who are so far off basic realities and common sense and plain don't seem to realize how nonsensical what they claim is. That's kind of why I keep reading their tripe. It never ceases to amaze me.
- I can agree that many comms made on .ml are benign and just duplicating the same communities off Reddit to continue that kind of posting; buuut the admins of the instance also like to swing their dicks around all over the instance removing anything they personally dislike even if it's not political.

Defederation needs to be considered, honestly. I don’t want to be separated from their userbase but the extreme level of censorship is just toxic at this point.
- A major code fork needs to be considered as well. There was a Java rewrite that started in good faith, but that would never appeal to many admins, I am afraid.
  The biggest issue I see is that all of the support for Lemmy is basically centered around .ml and potential admins have to wade through a sea of ideological stuff to get support.
  Cross-instance bans are a thing as well. What I mean is that non-tankies will get ml instance banned for comments in other communities on other instances. (Me. But whatever.)
  Admins on other instances have to treat lost tankies with kid-gloves or they will get banned on ml and lose support, I speculate. (I am not an admin and am not aware of any specific cases like this. It's hypothetical.)
  It's all a shitty situation.
  
  Wait can you elaborate on cross-instance bans? I haven't heard of this. How and why does it happen?
  
  A fork helps literally nothing in any ways. They are not injecting the code with their politics...

  Are you sure? https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support seems free of ideological stuff.
- The amount of funny comments I get from Lemmy.ml in neutral instances would be missed though.

Saw this on the yepowertrippingmods
I think this was a reasonable bait-provoked response. You can't go into another community and troll them about their moderation policy and expect not to get booted
When you hold up shit like this it makes it seem like you're just drama farming

Oh no a troll got ban 😔
