    I haven’t had any issues with .world. Ive had more issues with smaller instances banning people/topics. World seems like the most bland or popular of the lemmy instances.

      Most of the issues I have with world are invisible because the comments are removed and the users are banned. As long as you stick with their narrative (that Trump bad and Biden/Kamala good) you won’t run afowl of them.

        Cant you see everything via the modlist + API? I thought that was one of the benefits of Lemmy is that the modlist is open. I have seen people down-voted for specific comments but not banned.

          Many have been banned. A leftist named linkerbaan (or to like that) was one for sure.

            The discussion here shows me that linkerbaan’s ban was the right decision: https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/29384791 . Please provide receipts of actual attempted Orwellianism.

              After looking at your “evidence”, I still disagree with the ban. Linkerbaan was angry at people literally preventing the truth about an actual genocide being broadcast live for all to see.

              Downvote those you disagree with and walk away. Banning is for death threats and stuff like that. Calling people names like “fascist” is not abuse. It’s public discourse.

                There’s outright lying, this thread of what I can only describe as trolling, chanting “what about clinton’s blowjob” on a post asking for people to debunk a list of bad things Reagan did, and there’s a ton of calling everyone Zionists within the very thread I linked to. Such spreading of vitriol at everyone he disagrees with is definitely bannable IMO.

                  Calling someone a Zionist when they’re arguing AGAINST a ceasefire is ABSOLUTELY not below the belt. Zionist isn’t a slur. It’s a word used by actual Zionist’s.

                    Calling someone zionist is not a slur. Calling someone a bot is also not a slur. Both are thought-terminating cliches. Also, by thread, I meant including the comments as well. Plus you have the trolling.
