You know, back over in /r/Australia if you even sneeze you get censored. If you ask why you were censored you got banned. Anything apposed to the mods views had you post taken down.
Will Lemmy be different? Is it different mods?

Well, that obviously depends what you were being banned or censored for, I don’t know what your situation was. This Lemmy instance has global rules too on the front page, they’re just less pro-corporate and neoliberal because we’re not trying to make profit like reddit does, and we have more capacity for individual attention. So if, for example, you’re intentionally trolling or posting pro-nazi garbage you’ll still get a banhammer. But I really doubt anyone has been banned or censored just for asking why they were banned.
I’ve been in this instance for a year and never been banned.
I was banned from /r/australia for posting a picture of Murdoch print media front page similarities. It was something akin to: “here’s todays headlines” pictures of front pages “You can see all of the similarities” I was perma-banned for “posting a meme”.
Banned for asking why. Factual. Not making that up.
Shadow banned in another account for posting an article that debunked one of the mods sources.
Many censored comments, as they didn’t align with the mods world view.
And no, this was all before covid. None of that nonsense.
So another Australia group was created by another guy out of frustration. Turned out he ended up censoring everything that wasn’t aligned to inner city Melbourne extreme left.
I’m a pretty left centre guy. I like to get along. Those places are just the worst.
So. Am happy to be here and will happily contribute.
