    I don’t know if this is worth my time. It’s not just lemmy.ml and hexbear. lemmy.world, solarpunk, and feddit.org are also affected for example.

    sh.itjust.works seems to be the exception. Answers that are tolerated in [email protected] get deleted or users banned on world, worldnews, news, and similar. I’m strictly talking about posts that don’t violate any written rules.

    I suspect this is a major reason why lemmy isn’t more popular and growth has stalled. The core users are free software true believers and Marxist fundamentalists and want to stay among themselves.

      I would say it’s still worth reporting. I don’t follow news or politics very closely, but having propaganda reported is always useful.

      I don’t think so. I’ve contacted a few mods from different subreddits to ask to create one post to talk about Lemmy, and how it could be an alternative to Reddit enshittification, all of them have been negative.

      People are not magically going to learn about Lemmy if the platform which is the most similar does not allow to talk about it: https://sopuli.xyz/post/17981609
