Lemmy seems to have done the same. At least .world, I dunno about other instances, but I'm looking for a new community.
https://lemmy.world/comment/13815531
I came here to post, not that anyone cares, that this is the straw that broke this pathetic camel's back for me with Lemmy. The limited user base and incredibly reduce quality and quantity, clunky tech...I was willing and happy to bear it all thinking I was getting out from under the thumb of fucking corporate censorship and bullshit mod oversimplification. Instead the locked the News thread on the assassination https://lemmy.world/post/22761236 and deleted my comment that said "can't imagine why" without explanation, ostensibly as it "encouraged or celebrated violence"(https://lemmy.world/comment/13794258).
I provided a response and then they locked the thread. If we can't even have a discussion about the world why the fuck would I be on fucking Lemmy instead of another shite censored, billionaire-owned platform that at least has user & content depth?
1.5 years, 1300 comments, fuck Lemmy.world and the mod @JonsJava who understands his position in facilitating respectful dialogue that conform to rules to be "overbroadly apply them and pretend it's something that needs censoring so I can get my jollies" and then say "I don't have time to deal with this" when you get blowback and lock a thread with tons of engagement. LOL talk about shooting yourself in the foot Lemmy.
I'm debating on lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works or however you spell the second
