This is true but I've found I've been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I've been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china's crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn't opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn't inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can't like or comment.

It's really disturbing ngl.

Your situation is different from that of the person to whom you are replying. SeveralAnts is upset that eight copy-paste comments of theirs were removed by a mod from one comment section on !worldnews, each containing the exact same misinformation which implied that Mexican drug cartels had 37 presidential candidates assassinated in order to leave one lone candidate, a Jewish leftist scientist, as the cartels' preferred candidate. This is a lie. While a few dozen Mexican politicians have been assassinated this election cycle, none of them were presidential candidates.

What SeveralAnts is upset about is that their attempts at spreading lies in order to promote their anti-leftist agenda failed. To that, I say good fucking riddance. Go back to Twixxer.

Thank you so much for commenting this. I thought I was going crazy. World News seems to be the culprit. It isn't fair to the users to deny information. I think I'm going to leave, it is too disturbing. I don't need this.

I would suggest rather than entirely leaving the Threadiverse, just leaving that community and joining the !world@lemmy.world community.

Yeah i just blocked that community, but really shit we have dickheads like this ruining lemmy with arbitrary censorship.

Really no different than Reddit in that regard. At least we don't have people automatically banning you for having ever interacted with specific other communities yet, at least I don't think we do yet.

EDIT: Shit, somehow I forgot the don't. Teach me not to proofread.
