Lemmy is supposed to be anti censorship bro I got pushed to 4chan from getting censored literally anywhere else. All I wanted was to talk about mario and lugia

looks down
Nope. Still fully visible down there.
I called some racists on TikTok "gross" and that was removed. I'm not paraphrasing. That's the whole comment right there. Gross.
I'm being self-censored. Working for a very large corp that has a long list of topics I'm not supposed to discuss, and I'm pretty good at not talking about them under my real name. I'm quite certain that my anonymous comments may also be traced back to me, but the HR doesn't care about those.
Yeah. I looked down at my wang and there was just a black bar.
REDACTED
I censor myself quite frequently, although perhaps not frequently enough. It's the only kind I'll accept.

On Reddit, yes. To the point where I've actually had to self-censor a lot of my comments and tip-toe around certain topics to avoid my comments being nuked from orbit by Automoderator.
Lemmy? Not really.
Nope, only limited by stupid people.
What [EXPLETIVE DELETED] are you talking about?
Would I know if I was?
if you self-censor, probably ;)
Maybe? I keep getting "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
Yep, a few instances have banned me for stupid jokes. Like US NEWS and Politics. Some mods are fucking insane
Are you sure it is the mods? Think about it, what is the common denominator?
Yes, I was literally banned for a joke
Was it an offensive joke?
One ban is the notorious news sdf troll mod, edit: but otherwise they're needlessly inflammatory yeah I looked farther down.
Post here was " 'Golden Share' in US Steel gives Trump Extraordinary Control " Talking about Japan giving up shares to the US
My comment
Ah american hands on a company, its fucked now.
Is this ban worthy?? AITAH??
There we go, yeah, gotta love being banned for nothing
Guys.. it's pixelated 😨
in Reddit and youtube, especially if you commenting against parasocial fans or right wingers of that specific channel.
reddit has the most oppressive censorship(which includes bans, and gatekeeping) of any social media site.
No
Absolutely, 100% not.
I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn't worth the time to wait for it.
if the comment below this one is, then yes.
Nope
Probably, most likely
It says banned 😭
Only due to self-censorship.
Nah, that's less fun
Yes
Yeah this site keeps blocking my password when I type it: 1LoveCalzones!
Edit:.... Oops guess not
y*s, i am
No need. We have corporate mind control which tricks people into thinking only brown people are terrorists, non nato states are barbarians and socialism doesnt work, etc.
We even have accounts on lemmy who exclusively post nato propaganda and use multiple accounts to cancel dissent.
I am being wildly censored and repeatedly banned. I really REALLY REEEEEALLLY despise Nazis.
Not in RL. Only on Lemmy.
Yes but only on YouTube and for the most harmless of comments.
Probably downvoted by the same people that would downvote my above comment. 🙄
