I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there’s a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

    If that’s true, the advantage of our decentralized Lemmy is: People could just ditch this instance and switch to a different one.

      Yes. People who just consume content can easily switch. But for people who create content this is not that easy, especially for users who created communities there.

        I agree it sucks but at least you have that option considering the nature of the Lemmy project.

        I’m trying to fill small communities including on lemmy.ml and it feels like I’m the only one filling in.

        And this’s a bad move for the small community on lemmy.ml

          Lemmy ml has always been radically pro-fascist, honestly it’s your fault for having made communities there. Start again but this time make sure the server is someone trustworthy

            What? I don’t have a community, I’m not even a moderator. I’m trying to help lemmy to grow by populating small communities because there are a lot of people complaining because lack of content.

              Then do not invest your time in communities hosted on lemmy.ml (if you do not agree with the instance ideology).

                I’m quoting your comment

                Look there community on lemmy.ml who might have similar things to say about China or Uyghurs. Do they have to move?

      I’ve already done that twice. It’s annoying, and a pain in the ass to reset subscriptions and blocks. If I am forced to do so again, I don’t know if I will. I doubt I’m alone in this feeling.
