I dunno, man. I’m pretty new to the whole fediverse stuff. I just learned about modlogs from this thread here, so obviously what I say is not super well-informed on the topic. But looking at the modlog someone linked below, most of the stuff I’m seeing removed are actually the exact opposite. I see comments removed because they’re calling other people tankies. I’m seeing stuff removed because it’s “horseshoe theoretisizing, bad-faith”. Then a bunch of people indirectly advocating violence.
I’ve never been a mod of anything, and a lot of this looks like stuff that if it were up to me I’d leave. But I don’t really see any evidence that .world “has an overwhelmingly “US Democratic Party” slant, politically”. As far as there is any ideological basis behind the mod actions, it seems to be more unaligned leftist than anything else.
Again, though, I’m very new to this and did not do anything close to what I would describe as a thorough search.
Well noted, and for the record- I don’t blindly support everything .world does. There are always exceptions to the rule. So it’s not my intent to make a blanket statement exonerating any and all behavior from the admin/moderation teams that make up lemmy.world.
It’s just been my observation of the parties involved on the subject after having been on lemmy for quite some time. There’s enough evidence in the logs to support most of what I’m saying to be accurate, but it’s not infallibly empirical.
So… I’d say, when in doubt- take a look at the content of character of the one making the complaint either via comment history or modlogs. You’ll see either trustworthy- but extremely biased people, untrustworthy- and extremely biased people, and everything in-between.
But at the end of the day, after all is said… it’s still better than Reddit.
