Funny, I have said some extremely disparaging things about Musk in specific and oligarchs in general in the last couple weeks and not a single one of those comments got dinged. shrug

Nah, he didn't do it, but someone definitely should've. Not Luigi tho, he was chillin' at my house that whole week.
I have said some pretty aggressively and unambiguously pro-Palestine things over there and never been dinged once for it, so I haven't seen it. shrug
Although I did notice that certain of my comments would act like they posted only to not actually post, to the point that I've taken to writing longer posts in notepad and pasting them over, and the ones that fail all seem to have something to do with Israel or Palestine. But usually a couple of attempts at posting them gets through, so.. shrug
I did say I think I'm gonna permanently switch to lemmy..
Interesting, I'll take a look at that, thanks!
I have no skills as a moderator, sadly, I avoid responsibility as a lifestyle. Thanks for the warm welcome tho. :)
Glad to hear it, I look forward to poking around.
Seems like an opportunity to lose users. The whole instance thing is already kinda confusing for new people (source: just joined yesterday), but making every instance only connect to a select few instances would mean having to make an account on multiple different instances if you wanted to see a disparate selection of content. As much as I enjoy debating politics and religion I wouldn't join a server that only showed those communities because I also like videos of huskies being sassy, battletech memes, etc.
What's hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.
Thanks, glad to be here!
Yeah it's been getting increasingly fashy over there. They've blocked topics before, but to my knowledge they've never banned people for upvoting something. It's crazy. Next they're going to start banning any anti-Israel content as antisemitic, or anything pro-Palestine as promoting terrorism or whatever. It's gotten MUCH worse since the IPO, too, so it's clearly being done for the benefit of the advertisers.
Oh. Right. Heh.
