This looks like something for @WatchTheInternetDie@narwhal.city lol

But it's not too surprising since one of the core pillars of lemmy.ml is strong moderation and censorship lol

It's my main reason for not using Lemmy and opting for Lotide instead

thanks for the link; i hadn't heard of lotide before. Neat to see this post syndicated there.

I don't see a modlog over there though; do they actually have no moderation at all or is it just not transparent like it is on lemmy?

(i'm relatively new to lemmy and not sure if the modlog itself is censored; i suspect it must be sometimes, but at least I think everything of mine that has been deleted so far shows up there.)

The current state in lotide is that community moderators can remove posts from a community. No explicit moderation log for now, might be worth adding

When I said this:

one of the core pillars of lemmy.ml is strong moderation and censorship

I was merely referring to the fact that the lemmy.ml instance likes to censor, is run by the Lemmy devs AFAIK, and furthermore from the beginning it included a hardcoded word blacklist (not sure if it still has that feature)

to be fair, moderation in lotide is considered a missing feature, not an intentional omission
