I for one have stopped posting any content to lemmy.ml communities.

      That’d be the part where they hid the actual comments and mod responses on all the .ml communities. Interesting that it rewrites the history when they decide to undo it, I hadn’t actually noticed it expired.

      So weird and uncharacteristic of M-Ls to do something shitty and then delete the records and then lie about the cause because it makes them look bad…

        .world communities do the same thing, just banning someone for “misinformation” looks much less suspicious than showing posts of me linking people the Wikipedia article on Tienanmen Square and describing what the article said and surrounding context instead of joining the china-bad circle-jerk.

          There’s a pretty big difference between arguing the details of something as controversial as Tianamen and instance banning anyone that doesn’t use the Party-approved definition of democracy even though they clearly referred to a specific form of it.
