I recieved both a ban and a death threat from a .ml mod.
My opinion was that Harris would have been better than Trump. I even included that I didn’t even like her or the democrats. I just view them as, unfortunately, the better option right now.
They told me I should be executed and thrown in a pit with the rest of the garbage (ie the other people they view as undesirable) and promptly banned. It was a crazy escalation
I’ve had the opposite experience. I was mobbed and then site-banned by .ml for mildly criticizing communism in China and defending my opinion. But the hateful, rule-breaking comments, the derision, the incivility–all of that stayed up right where it was.
I agree, although I feel like that’s across the board for Lemmy. Mods aren’t all joining together and discussing the rules they will enforce. Every community has its own idea of how moderation works, and we all do what we see fit or please. I’ve seen some stupid shit on the modlogs everywhere, often using the ban and remove content feature that essentially scrubs the user’s history, which imo should be fixed.
I do feel like .ml takes that to an extreme, though. Like, what do you mean you can’t criticize Russia or China without being banned by an admin? Dessalines is especially guilty of this, and the other admins deflect and defend his behavior.

Can you share their comment/message?
.ML needs to be exposed further as too many people defend them because they don’t realise how scum they are.

If you say someone bad specifically about russia or china, .ml mods are likely remove your comments.
You talk about healthcare ceos or nazis and you risk getting moderated here.
lol lemmy.ml wouldn’t ban someone for posting about Luigi, are you being for real right now?
Maybe not Luigi specifically, but freedom of speech on ml is… questionable.

Have they banned you yet for being obsessed? They should.
