I never said they were blocked by default, though. You're taking issue with Lemmy.ml as a test instance despite Lemmy lacking in the tools for censorship PieFed has.
I’m taking offense to my donations to Lemmy being used to run this echo chamber.
If you dislike echo chambers why pick one by the lemmy.world admins???
They don’t really block much stuff.
They love doing it. There's even been times they've specifically made rules specifically for that. Their top mod especially
Who is their top mod?
Jordanlund, who when admins were presented with multiple issues decided to punt issue to individual mods and caused

With him out on sick leave will be interesting to see if certain news outlets he continuously removed will be allowed.
If we’re talking about top mods:
Funny story, I banned Jordanlund from /c/transgender for posting a matt walsh video to dunk on someone. He then banned me in retaliation from their news comm.
I saw that whole exchange.
I'm not a mod, and contextualizing why I believe the USSR was a progressive project despite lacking in queer rights and being queer myself is something I still stand by. Running to MeanwhileOnGrad for some out of context screengrabs doesn't help your claims.
Plus, all of those claims were reasonable except for nutomic's.
The bbc is over a hundred years old and rarely fails fact checks I think calling it a tabloid is insane.
BBC has been caught doctoring video footage to make China seem "scarier," and repeating disproven claims that have been long since debunked. It's capitalist state run propaganda, similar to RT but for the UK.
One of those articles is about the death toll of a protest and the other is about where the deaths happened so they’re not exactly contradicting each other.
Alan Donald was the one claiming 10,000 people died on the square, BBC reported that despite it being proven that Alan Donald had fled far before and was lying. Read the articles themselves, not the headlines alone.
BBC reports that 10,000 people died on the square, when the truth is that hundreds died in various areas in Beijing but that the square was peacefully dispersed, which is backed even by Wikipedia.
This is just one example of BBC reporting misinformation and doctoring footage to suit their narratives. It's not wrong to call it tabloid media.
I read an article about the disclosure of a previously secret diplomatic cable.
Alan Donald reported that 10,000 died on the square. Wikileaks proved that this is wrong, the death toll for June 4th was in the hundreds and no deaths occured on the square itself. BBC still reports Alan Donald's version.
I’m not going to be dragged into a conversation about exactly how many deaths or where they occurred when the article you shared was reporting on the disclosure of a previously secret diplomatic cable.
And the implications of the cable are that Alan Donald lied, but BBC sticks with it, because it's a propaganda outlet.
Cowbee is not a mod you dumbass
You guys regularly call me names with no consequences but if I did that same I’d be banned.
I wouldn’t because there’s no need I’m just pointing out the biased moderation here.
Modlog is public, a lot of .ml people get temp ban or comment removed when they start insulting too much or use ableism.
Again point is if you hate censorship so much why be on another one that is all for it?
Plus cowbee isn't a mod.
Would love to see the context of the davel interaction
It's the Ukraine war.
Also find it interesting they never replied to me 😂
Oh Satan upset people not calling a war a genocide like the slaughter in Gaza of the Palestinians.
Wild they kept that part out and just using it to get people angry at a user
And pivoting it to a worse echo chamber that makes it far easier to cultivate an echo chamber.
Do you have other accounts with other instances to see if that’s true or not?
I do.
I have 3 accounts, and have only been actively censored by Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works (outside of one Lemmy.zip community run by a racist that closed the comm down after I called them out on it).
Getting censored by sh.itjust.works tells a story in itself.
Just NCD being NCD.
