!InternationalGeneral@lemmy.ml

You can talk about almost anything in any language, primarily those that aren’t English. :)

You may use this as an alternative instance, although the owner of the one on lemmy.ca appointed me as a mod.

Until the instance admins delete it, at least. lemmy.ml is the most heavily moderated instance in the universe.

Do they not allow non-English posts?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think the “anything” is more the issue.

[–] AuroraGlamour@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Changed it to “almost anything”. Thanks :)

You may want to add an * and have that * read within the rules of the instance.

Why are the so moderated? What do they moderate?

[–] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Browse the modlog and you can see for yourself what they moderate.

Keep in mind that lemmy.world has 7.6x as many active users as lemmy.world, and lemmy.world has 5.9x as many comments as .ml, so that's why it looks like .world has a lot of moderation going on.

As for your question as to why they moderate so much, it's to maintain a strict facade that matches their political ideologies. Censorship, for short.

The censorship tends to stay in the political and news communities, thankfully. There are still a few niche communities on .ml I like and haven't been banned from.
