    Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.

    One of these days they’ll suck the boot so far down their throats they’ll asphyxiatiate, but at least they’ll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.

            Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?

            That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.

            I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).

            Or am I misunderstanding?

            (Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)

              .world defederate and blocked a ton of communities. obviously some of them seems bordering on illegal, but they are also blocking alot of other ones.

                Oh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.

                My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                Could it be the other way around? Beehaw may have defedersted from World. They are a fairly restrictive instance much like blahaj zone.

                  i can see why blahaj blocks, because its a trans centric instances.

        Maybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user’s moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.

          My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

        They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I’m sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.
