Reading that post, the OP linked an unsourced Imgur album with blatant lies like "10,000 people were incinerated and hosed down drains" spliced between actual photos of the protest is fucking wild. The 10,000 figure was reported once then immediately retracted, the fact that OP was posting blatant propaganda as fact was conveniently left out as "tankie censorship".
Let's put that into perspective: US intelligence officially puts the number below 900. The OP was saying it's over 10,000. It's an order of magnitude above the 3 letter agencies of the US.
Have you read through the thread? Tons of examples of admin abuse. I fully expect to cop another ban for this comment thread soon.
Also, I would disagree with calling defederation 'censorship'. Nobody was prevented from speaking up. Refusal to engage with somebody you disagree with is not censorship.
Preventing people from interacting with whole instances is the ultimate form of censorship. Deleting comments is nothing compared to literally deleting all the users from one instance.
There's a lot of irony to this comic being posted on .ml, given the current discussion about censorship issues on this instance
.world posting about censorship when they preemptively censor any discussion about piracy is hilarious.
They were never even warned by authorities, one of the admins is paranoid and loves intellectual property.
Lmao those fucking losers "preemptively" defederated from hexbear, every one of those hypocritical libs can eat my ass

Dude, .world defederated from lemmygrad and Hexbear. They are the ones who have a censorship problem

Clearly goes both ways.
I support .world defederating from whoever they wish, same as I support .ml running their own instance the way they want to run it.
