That sounds like a you problem
Is it my fault if a comment I posted is removed by .ml-Mods simply because it states that there can be no justification for terrorism?
Honestly, I can't support that. Do you see it differently?
That's just stupid. I would definitely resort to terror tactics if fighting a stronger enemy, like THE COALESCED FORCES OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM. It's not like you can talk amoral monsters into being good, or like you have the time and resources to develop nuclear bombs and aircraft carriers.
I just don't want my opinion to be censored for political reasons. That's what I had hoped for from Lemmy – not some propaganda bullshit. Do you really see this platform as a counterpart to Truth Social? If so, then I'm in the wrong place, because I'm interested in exchanging opinions and arguments, not in having my opinion confirmed.
I got my comments deleted on Lemmy because I mention people's possible hair colours, and was banned from Hexbear for similar reasons. I understand your frustration, I'm sorry it happens and honestly, I wonder if there are any better discussion spaces online (Reddit is even worse than what it originally was, which is saying a lot). I'm freeloading here, haven't given Lemmy a cent, maybe you'll feel better commenting here if you don't give them any money? You might be silenced (until you create a new account), but at least you won't get scammed.

It's like both siding slavery during Nat turner revolt
Again, why is that my problem? You can post about that literally anywhere else. What you do with your money is not the concern of me, nor anyone else looking at this post.

Apparently, lemmy.ml instance ks only paid from OpenCollective: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18413453
Still the same people though.
The literal server isn't the problem. The problem is the power tripping, transphobic assholes who run it. "Supporting Lemmy development" is directly paying those assholes, Nutomic and Dessalines, regardless of how much they want to obfuscate and mislead what actually happens to "Lemmy development" funds. It literally pays Dessalines to have the free time to make a hundred shitty mod actions per day.
Do you have examples of them being transphobic?
I've heard other accusations but it's the first time I beard this one, I'm curious.

There is no way to convince a person who is raised in a capitalist system why "arbitrary censorship" is way better than "democracy" where all significant media is capitalist owned. The only difference is that one is honest, the other isnt. If you come to my house, I will absolutely arbitrarily censor you if I dont like what you're saying. Thats called personal freedom.
The "freeze peach" approach is a purely capitalist idea where you supposedly can say anything, even shitting on someone elses table but you have no actual way to change the broken system you're in. Thats how they like you, divided, shitting on those you deem lesser and incapable of organizing.
So no, the people who make lemmy are the people who let you say exactly what you are saying now. From my pov, they deserve huge donations. Does that have to do anything with their instance? Not in my opinion.
But because I like to discuss these things: an instance is your private matter. you can do whatever you like and hear whatever you like. If that means you only say nazi stuff for example, that is your choice. And defunding those who give you actual freedom (before lemmy there was reddit and nothing) while not defunding the police or the state that does the exact opposite (looking at you, USA) is just wild imo.
I was brought up in a clasical liberal society. That it was also capitalist is incidental.
Tomato, tomato. These are just capitalist words for a competitive system with just enough leeway to keep you playing. Since it has been failing recently and people are organizing too much, they need their fascist hammer from the capitalist toolbox. Its very obvious once someone abandons the decoration.

Thanks for the reminder, I think I'll take a look around.
