Lemmy has it’s share of trolls, but we also have our share of russian propaganda trying to influence our election. This specific moderator of a very large Lemmy community (LateStageCapitalism) has been posting “democrats are actually the fascists!” memes, while banning/censoring everyone who speaks out in favor of the very people attempting to thwart the literal fascist regime in power right now.

Lemmy is a big propaganda outlet for Russia. I’ve been banned from hexbear and .ml for pointing out the obvious bullshit. They even upvoted me after I congratulated them on Trump’s second term.
3 daysAs always, the best solution is to create a new LateStageCapitalism community on another instance with a moderation policy that better matches your expectations (not to discourage PSAs like this, just like, as a next step).

I second this. And im also banned from that community because I said some post was nonsense and explained the difference between socialism and capitalism and that’s how that went.
There are plenty of things to discuss under the topic of late stage capitalism. So just make a new community for it. I’ll subscribe.

It’s crazy that they are allowed alt accounts on. World and to run propaganda communities.
I think Lemmy is to the left of Reddit personally, there seems to be a lot more tankies, commies, Hollywood democrats, and so on, and less of everybody else. Even party-line Democrats are rare (or quiet).
I wish they wouldn’t ban all of the rightoids, but it’s theirs, not mine. I could always go to Trump’s to find one.
I’m okay with even actual Russians posting, it’s the mod banning/censorship abuse that bothers me. But this is not a free speech platform, I don’t know if there is one.
I mean, in a sense it is a free speech platform. The mods of any given instance can ban you, sure, but there exists no instance or higher authority in the network that can ban you from lemmy or the fediverse as a whole, even if every single instance were to hypothetically ban you at the same time, you could still spin up your own instance and host your account there. They could all defederate and stop talking to it, but they couldnt stop you from still posting there and getting seen by anyone else that wanted to join it or connect their instance with yours.
But this is not a free speech platform, I don’t know if there is one.
Even I as a strong supporter of free speech acknowledge the problems with defining this term.
Cant read the rules then cries like a little bItch when they get banned. Then got their account banned for harassment.

If everything you disagree with is a Russian bot then you literally have no idea what any duck walks or quacks like, it’s just a meaningless repetition of your opinion and the propaganda you have been fed - circular by definition

Are you trying to claim that Russian bots don’t exist, or that I don’t disagree with them?

Or you know they are actually committed revolutionaries who oppose voting on principle not servants of Putin?

Okay, I’ll forgive them for it when they launch their revolution.
