I just found out that there’s a local mod abuse community. Cool!
A lemmy.ml admin (https://lemmy.ml/u/cypherpunks) censored blasphemy, claiming rule 1 “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia”.
Here is the original comment: https://lemmy.zip/comment/20729770 and post: https://lemmy.ml/post/34489826
The admin also censored this image: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/39f58cfd-d6b7-4fdc-bbf6-b8c4b465c423.png (see here: https://i.ibb.co/YFHb5KxK/image.png)
I am not sure if everyone agrees with me, but I believe blasphemy should be a right. Blasphemy isn’t bigotry!
The issue is ml was the biggest instance for a while, so a lot of comms there became the “default” ones. The idea is to build alternative comms so people aren’t forced to interact with ml. cm0002 is leading the charge on this. They did a whole breakdown on why you shouldn’t interact with ml but I can’t find it at the moment, but feel free to check out meanwhileongrad for an idea of how common moderation like this is on ml.
