        I recieved both a ban and a death threat from a .ml mod.

        My opinion was that Harris would have been better than Trump. I even included that I didn’t even like her or the democrats. I just view them as, unfortunately, the better option right now.

        They told me I should be executed and thrown in a pit with the rest of the garbage (ie the other people they view as undesirable) and promptly banned. It was a crazy escalation

          Can you share their comment/message?

          .ML needs to be exposed further as too many people defend them because they don’t realise how scum they are.

        I’ve had the opposite experience. I was mobbed and then site-banned by .ml for mildly criticizing communism in China and defending my opinion. But the hateful, rule-breaking comments, the derision, the incivility–all of that stayed up right where it was.

        .ml is a shit hole and bans more than any other instances.

        I even remember seeing evidence how the admins have altered modlogs before to hide what they do.

        Maybe not Luigi specifically, but freedom of speech on ml is… questionable.

          I agree, although I feel like that’s across the board for Lemmy. Mods aren’t all joining together and discussing the rules they will enforce. Every community has its own idea of how moderation works, and we all do what we see fit or please. I’ve seen some stupid shit on the modlogs everywhere, often using the ban and remove content feature that essentially scrubs the user’s history, which imo should be fixed.

          I do feel like .ml takes that to an extreme, though. Like, what do you mean you can’t criticize Russia or China without being banned by an admin? Dessalines is especially guilty of this, and the other admins deflect and defend his behavior.
