On lemmy.world you will get dogpiled if you ever diverge from the DNC/MSNBC line on anything. On lemmy.ml, you will get dogpiled if you ever diverge from the CCP party line, but the assholes flaming you are less likely to literally be the mods.
[edit: blahaj is also full of and moded by Likud partisans]
yeah ideological policing is insane
Will the mods flame you then ban you?
Also on Lemmy you can see the moderation history for any user or comment.
https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=1660834
Do with that info what you will. It's very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.
If the worst happens there are many instances to choose from, and it seems easy to get your preferred username
We have mods of all kinds here! Most won't just ban you unless you broke an actual rule. Any who, good of a time as any to mention the Modlog exists. You can easily see someone's moderation history with just two clicks!
(three dots next to a comment and then moderation history.)
You are WAY better than .world
The .ml mod history is full of people getting banned for whatever, and shoehorned into rule 1. I know, because every time my posts don't get votes for a while I go and check it, just in case.
I have nothing against your instance's moderators or users, but I'm not quite sure the admins of your instance follow the same guidelines.
I would really recommend newcomers pick a home instance like db0 over .ml or .world, and be aware of the instance rules when posting on communities in either. For .ml, avoid criticizing the CCP, and for .world, avoid expressing any desires that can be even remotely seen as "violence".
This is bullshit, flyingsquid banned me for saying Biden is too old and genocidal and the DNC will lose by running a "everything is fine and you're wrong" campaign. And then it happened. I've blocked your shit instance ever since.
Yeah, I never said .world is any good either. Both of them have Ye Old' Power Tripping Bastards worthy moderation.
My instance had a genuinely stupid policy where trolls were not to be banned but instead countered with facts. To prevent echo chambers, or some stupid shit like that. They also blocked the db0 piracy community from being viewed.
Flyingsquid for one
