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

    Is this a mod or modteam of a few communities, or is it a global mod outside of community mods?

    I’m not shure how to read the modlog.

        I unsubscribed from world news on lemmy.ml as soon as I heard about them being tankies. Lemmy.world has the same community with mostly the same posts anyway.

          I mean this really upsetting since they have c/technology and c/privacy communities. Someone might post something like high-tech surveillance of actvtists or Uyghurs

            There’s a reason I don’t mod any communities on that instance. I don’t understand why other people would either.

        Too bad It’s impossibe too see wich mod is doing what.
        It could be a general lemmy.ml policy, it could allso just be that the first worldnews mod is opiniated , and chose his own modteam for worldnews.

        So what’s the problem? It’s a ban-happy three-person mod team shaping a community. There are other communities with the same explicit subject. When a community’s mods move it in a direction you don’t like, you join or make a different one, and the nature of Lemmy means they haven’t even camped an important community name.

        It’s not even a particularly tankie sub, there’re posts calling Russia warmongers still up and at +82. Seems like most of the removals were posts trying to pick fights. And while tankie bashing is often fun and warranted, it’s not really extreme censorship to say that’s breaking a rule saying “everyone should feel welcome here”.

      I’m not shure how to read the modlog.

      1. Visit the instance in question, for example https://lemmy.ml/
      2. Scroll to the bottom or Ctrl+PgEnd, click on “Modlog”: https://lemmy.ml/modlog (as you see, you can also just append /modlog to the URL)
      3. Filter by action, or filter by user. For example, enter your own name to see if you have been banned

      This way, I just found out I’ve been banned on lemmy.ml for this comment which surely is snarky, and technically disrespectful. They did not ban Krause (parent comment). So I guess spreading lies is fine as long as you do it “respectfully”. Speaking up to that gets you banned.
