    Lemmy.ml is the devs instance, and they have a habit of banning anyone who even slightly differs from their opinions. Basically, if you’re not a tankie like them, they will likely ban you.

    They’re not interested in free discussions.

      But they just personally don’t want that on their instance while they create the lemmy software that allows for everyone to speak their opinions.

        They have an extremely low bar for censorship, and I have already seen signs that they will abuse their role to keep their finger on the scale. For example, they selectively federate mod logs, and seem to be running a custom build which allows them to do this. What other forms of fediverse trust are they willing to compromise for ideological purity?

      Slight correction: Lemmy.ml is their reach-out and diplomacy instance. Their actual instance is lemmygrad.

        I guess their diplomacy with me was to follow me around and downvote everything I posted until I just abandoned my original account.

          Exactly they only harassed you instead of sending you straight to permaban gulag. Took me all of four or five days to get banned from lemmygrad and that’s without even posting in their communities.
