Something funny is going on at Lemm.ee. The admin is suddently ban hammer happy too.

That and all the mods removed from here is kinds strange.

Anyone have any word on what’s up and why the drastic changes in attitude and all of the sudden bans?

**EDIT: **Actually I think I found the reason: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529 (!meta@ lemm.ee “It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required”)

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.

Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.

Don’t let them silence you, guys. We should just move–not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.

EDIT: I’m not defending Nazi’s or Nazi salutes. I didn’t see the post and I haven’t seen any describe it other than “it was a Nazi salute!” Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?

    You can make a community private by setting up your own server and making it invite only. That’s the joy of the fediverse.

    Yeah, but there’s not way to set up a private community on a different server. Not every knows how to, or has the money to, make their own instance.

      You can get a VPS for under $20 per month.

      The Fediverse was setup so that a single group of people, or a single billionaire fascist, couldn’t control the conversation. You can’t get together with a group of half a dozen extremists and strategically block anyone whose ideology you don’t like to prevent them from participating in the conversation. Blocking on Lemmy takes you out of the conversation, not the person you block.

      If what you want is an ideologically pure conversation where the truth is shouted down try Facebook, Xitter, Truth Social, Telegraph, or any of the other fascist loving social media platforms. If you want to create a hermetically sealed ideologically pure completely truth proof echo bunker you want Reddit. On Lemmy lies and misinformation will be challenged and you will get conversation with people who have different ideas than you. That’s how the Fediverse works.

        Which is awesome. Oh, and I DO have my own instance. I’m just saying that not everyone can do that.

        Which is why I call out the lib lies and misinformation that I see on here.

        That’s how the Fediverse works.

          Attempting to substitute right wing lies and misinformation, or more often than not Russian propaganda, for the truth is not “call(ing) out lib lies and misinformation”. That’s a fundamental logical mistake that the right makes.

          That’s how the Fediverse works.

          Yes, it is.
