Worldnews .ml modding is on par with reddit's censorship (self.meta)

I know that lemmy's moto is if you don't like it here make your own, but for communities with big sub numbers and where current event discussions happens. banning controversial political opinions is not what I would have expected from the fediverse after having left corporate media, which could be excused for having to answer to investors and what not!

After I got a comment banned for what I think is nothing else but controversial, where it received quite the same amount of upvotes and downvotes, I took a look at that community's mod log, and there is nothing to be cheerful about. the same reddit mods have made it to the fediverse and are trying to turn it into the same hive mind other social media are, it is a shame it is turning out to this.

Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn't lead to admin action.

I know that. But getting harassed leads to people stopping their action so I block every troll without warning. That way I can keep going even if they start flooding in. I must have like 300 accounts on my blocklist by now.

I dont block different opinions, mind you.
