+1 to this, many Lemmy instance admins and/or community mods will just hand out bans for anything that disagrees with their politics and just slap a completely irrelevant “rule 1/2/4/whatever violation” – e.g. say something negative about Uyghur genocide or China in lemmy.ml, good chance you’ll get banned for being “uncivil” possibly along with a note about western imperialism or capitalists’ campaign against China or something. Depending on the day, the mod logs range from somewhat reasonable to batshit insane when it comes to admin actions.
