What's up? What's the censorship bit about?
The lemmy.world mods are notorious bootlickers and delete any comment that insinuates that people should rise up against Trump.
I haven't had any of my comments deleted about that. I'll keep a lookout though. Thanks.
Because that's a lie. The server is based in the Netherlands. It is illegal in the Netherlands to call for violence. What gets deleted are calls for violence.
A very quick glance at the modlog will show that comments merely saying people should rise up against Trump are not in there.
People should rise up against Trump in a constructive and non-violent way.
Yes, very droll. Now as I asked someone else complaining about this, are you going to pay to have the server you are being allowed to use for free to be moved to a country where it is legal to call for violence?
I'm not complaining about it. I just thought it was an odd statement. I couldn't care less about .world
It's a statement about having to comply to the law of the nation the server is in.
And it's in a part of the world with lots of successful nonviolent uprisings, so I'm not even sure that it's all that odd.
I find the world mods to be quite fair.
How dare you! You'll ruin my reputation as a bootlicking fascist!
Are we going to fight again?
Rapiers at dawn!
It’s not rape if I’m willing big guy.
Damn, you could have waited until dawn to stab like that!
