You haven't been paying attention then. Dessalines, the head admin, regularly instance bans people for speaking about the genocide in China in .ml communities.
There is no genocide in China, people with far more credibility on the topic than any westerner have investigated in person, you should try listening to them
Jesus fucking christ, seriously? Your counter to "the majority of muslim nations on earth convened to investigate these accusations in person and dismissed them entirely" is a cartoon? And not just any cartoon, but a patronizingly simplistic cartoon depiction of fantasy asia in which fantasy China is using literal mind control? You're trying to argue against observable reality by pointing to a racist caricature in a show for children, truly astounding.
I mean I have seen that accusation thrown around a lot, but from what I remember it was a few cases a long time (years?) back. But yeah to be honest I haven't really been paying attention, so if you have evidence to the contrary feel free to let me know. The goals and rules of the server as stated seem fine to me, and I haven't seen anything that really deviated too far from that.
Anyway, like I said I may not agree with every moderation decision, but I probably wouldn't on other instances either. Didn't your instance just defederate the Germans for their heavy-handed moderation of anything remotely antisemitic? I mean I would get it with any other instance I guess, but your users didn't get why the Germans would be a bit iffy with this stuff?
This is part of why ml users get a bad rap. Both of your core statements/assumptions here are false, to a degree that it would be easier to assume bad faith and move on with my life than to type this response up.
So Dessalines's continued and ongoing banning of any negative talk about China or Russia:
I'm not a particular fan of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, but what I see when I look at that community for the past month is mostly a running log of questionable at best bans that lemmy.ml admins, including Dessalines, have handed out.
I picked out some that stand out to me, but please peruse that community and your own instance's mod logs at your leisure. You should be able to filter the mod logs themselves by action, and I believe by the mod or admin that took the action.
That poster clearly has a bone to pick, and that community does especially, but there is a concerning pattern there as well.
That is... quite an interpretation of what happened. Anti-semitism is not tolerated on db0. You see it, go report it and tell us what happens. Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.
From the db0 admin team's mouths, their take on what happened: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/63525728
Funny enough, they don't look kindly on Meanwhile on Grad/MoG. And I downvoted that post, voting that I did not want to defed from feddit.
You seem way too knowledgeable about lemmy sever bans and federations for being "just some casual ml dude".
Defending the TERF dessalines too ... Bravo
"Knowing enough to call me out on my bullshit is actually a red flag" lol fuck off clown
They must defend their TERF Server Daddy otherwise he'll ban them
