      Wait really? I haven’t seen that in any of the communities I frequent at all. Do you have an example of an instance host or a community list?

        They are making stuff up. I can’t say that it literally never happens because anyone can spin up an instance and moderate it however they want. However, I have never seen this happen.

          I need to make my own lemmy instance at some point. What i’d really like to do is have only one rule: “Say whatever you want, but no gore or porn” Unfortunately when you make the rules like that, you’re just asking for the Nazis to show up and spread their hateful garbage.

          Making stuff up about a problem other people have quipped sarcastically about?

          Has it gotten better? Debatable. It’s simply less common now that he’s out of the news cycle but I myself have been banned for posting an image of the bat signal with a Green L in it (on an account whos server closed down).

            Someone literally called Luigi Mangione a hero in that thread and doesn’t appear to be banned? Like I said, it can’t be ruled out entirely because anyone can spin up an instance and moderate it how they wish. But some random asshole doing that on one instance that is apparently shut down is hardly a fediverse-wide problem.

            I can’t find anything about you in the modlog. I remember the first day they tried to kind of handle it but the community quickly made it known we wouldn’t stand for it.

            I routinely make calls to violence against billionaires and their ilk tbh, some of them aren’t very subtle. I’ve only had one comment removed from what I remember. They even donated the 50$ bucks I won because of the Lemmy silver event to Luigi’s defence fund on my behalf.

            I’ve posted the Luigi saint picture and the Batman picture. I’ve celebrated Thompson’s death as well as Kirk’s and lamented how trump didn’t get his because of an inch of difference.

            Whatever happened to your comment is the exception, not the rule. When a Luigi thread used to hit all on Reddit, 90% of the top comments would be deleted. It’s not even comparable.

              I haven’t been on Reddit in years. You’re right that it isn’t compatible if your description is accurate. On Lemmy it isn’t bots deleting everything Luigi like on reddit, it is many communities punishing tacit approval of his alleged actions. By now most have found the safe spaces imo which is why they say there is no problem.

        It’s rarer nowadays, but for a month or so during his arrest news cycle comments, in any article about health related politicians/business/CEOs etc, that mentioned him in any way were punished for ‘advocating violence’

        It’s not automatic bot doing it, but is still a too common reason for censorship.

          That was only communities moderated by one shitty mod (jordanlund) who constantly misconstrues things. A couple of communities on one instance doesn’t represent lemmy as a whole.
