Dear Admins and Users of lemmy.world,

I am writing to express my concerns about the impact of lemmy.ml on our community. It has come to my attention that lemmy.ml frequently disseminates propaganda and engages in historical revisionism. Moreover, there have been instances where their admin privileges were used to suppress dissenting views, reminiscent of the already defederated lemmygrad instance.

While personal blocking of lemmy.ml is an option, it does not address the broader issue of new users potentially being influenced by misleading content. It is crucial that we protect our users from a continuous stream of biased information.

To illustrate these concerns, I have provided a link to a detailed post on the Fediverse that documents these issues comprehensively [Here].

Given these points, I urge the admins to consider a defederation from lemmy.ml. If their users wish to remain part of Lemmy.ml, that is entirely acceptable, but we should take steps to prevent the propagation of harmful misinformation, especially in their comment sections.

Thank you for your consideration.

Not only are they heavily censoring content and comments, they do it at the database level so there's no mod log of the events, and users are unaware that their content has been removed.

You can still see that your comment has been removed, but you can't see the biased mass removals of content, like mass purging all China critical comments from a post, unless you're quick enough to screenshot the modlog.

They're purging the modlog somehow. I received a message from an admin of another instance who let me know that he happened to see my comment disappear, but he couldn't figure out how it was removed because there was no record of it. When I went back to the comment to check, it looked like it was still there to me. So, I'm not sure exactly what they're doing, but they're doing something funky.

I had the same thing happen. The comment was clearly removed and I could not see my comments from another account, but no modlog entries existed.
