You've got people like this moderator of World News and quite a few other communities issuing bans and removals for things like "Genocide Denial" on any comments that are somewhat moderate or centrist around the longstanding Israel/Palestine conflict. Absolutely sickening to me. There has been NO proven genocide. There are no facts to back that up. This is complete bias and suppression of freedom of speech.

This platform will never succeed if moderators with huge bias are with unchecked power. It's reputation is already in the gutter as an extreme radical leftist platform. And unfortunately, I see that is very true.

I was a Reddit veteran for years, I hate Reddit now and don't use it mostly due to getting random permabans. Lemmy functions well - much better than that dog shit site Reddit, but it's not there yet in terms of communities and activity. There is very little local/regional activity that I miss most from Reddit. Overall, it's effective in the technical sense, but content-wise it is still a very small fraction of what Reddit is unfortunately. And I am not confident it ever will be a true replacement. Will also add that Lemmy is EXTREMELY FAR LEFT, to a disturbing point. If you are a centrist, you will be silenced.

I've been hearing this for at least a year and a half. Ublock still works fine in Chrome...

Wow so much for freedom of speech/discussion on this platform. Did not say anything offensive except disagree with this person's comment.

"Guys guys, please wait until we win to unleash all that hate and racism"

It’s also time to start realizing that Israel is its own country and the US can’t control everything it does. They have their own democracy.

He'll never turn down the opportunity to spew thinly veiled lies, childish insults and propaganda on live primetime television. This time he'll actually have an opponent who will serve him his own ass though.

Yeah this is always the thing people forget... we have this antiquated electoral college thing.

Yep. Firing people (like Trump so often does) isn't the best solution for these kinds of things. Now they'll probably have someone less qualified in charge thrown into the job.
