.world did too didn’t it?
As I understood it, they clarified that we're not allowed to call for violence and stuff like that. The manifesto itself is fine.
They locked the news post entirely because some comments weren't bootlicking. My comment was removed for saying "can't imagine why that happened" which neither "calls for nor celebrates violence" as the mod stated, the latter "celebrating" being his or her invention to broaden the scope of the censoring of comments outside the stated server and community rules.
I'm current researching alternatives and have no idea where to go. I'm pretty drained after a year on Lemmy trying to make this work. I'd look at mastodon but seems like it's more Twitter than longer form discussion and boards.
Dbzer0 is where I went and after seeing all the content I wasn't seeing because world had defederated, I'm really enjoying myself.
