Removing posts of news articles you don’t agree with and calling them “non news articles” is censorship.
Removing political posts and calling them “non-US political posts” is censorship.
Removing memes based on political ideation is censorship.
Removing a quote from FDR for pedantic reasons is censorship.
Overly oppressive community rules and moderation is censorship.
Sad to see you advocating for censorship on here. 🤷
None of that is going on in the picture posted. Just because you’re butthurt about your posts being removed for not following the simplest of rules doesn’t mean you are being censored.
Wrong again. You wouldn’t be able to judge any of that because you haven’t seen what I posted and you’re simply talking out of your ass and siding with the moderators and towing the pro-censorship line.
IIRC that community has strict ideas about what sources are allowed, and the moderation is consistent about enforcing that even if the written rules are vague. Not sure why people are saying dailymail isn’t a news source just because it’s low quality. A bad news outlet is still a news outlet. So the mod should have given a better reason for removing it, but I agree with it being removed.
The nature of social media. Moderation takes time and energy (which amount to money). As a community grows larger, the moderators either need to increase their moderation costs or get draconian with their enforcement to reduce the expense.
Reddit is just the Late Stage of this phenomenon. If Lemmy continues to accrue users and follow the Reddit trajectory, where else can it end? I fully anticipate it’ll either go full /r/The_Donald with fascist bot-accounts spamming up every channel (a la “Nicole” spam mentioned in the pinned post). Or we’ll see mods do full instance purges of anyone suspected of any violation of any rule (perhaps even automating the process or turning it entirely over to an in-house AI) because there’s no Lemmy budget to do what Facebook or Reddit tried initially (turning moderation over to sweatshops in the Philippines or wherever labor was cheapest).
Smaller communities speed ran this transformation. Voat imploded inside a year or two. Chapo/Hexbear ate itself over the course of a couple years. TruthSocial is all just botspam now. Some of the smaller instances in Lemmy have imploded to the same effect. This instance has a rather large and active modding community. But it comes for us all in the end.
The censorship and Napoleonic complex moderators on lemmy.world are nearly as bad as reddit
Removing posts of non news articles being posted to the news comms isn’t censorship.
Removing non-US politics posts posted to a US politics comm is not censorship.
Removing political memes posted to a non-political meme comm is not censorship.
Removing posts of something other than micro blogs to the microblogs community is not censorship.
Removing posts that break the clearly posted rules of the community is not censorship.
JFC… 🤦♂️

You realize the mod log is public, and I as well as anyone else can definitely see what you posted, right?

lol. Talks about news then post a daily mail link, my guy that isn’t news that’s propaganda no wonder they said no, un-twist your panties
