They are pretty controversial for a lot of (well founded) reasons, but I think the main thing in this case is that they are very heavy handed in their moderation, an odd place to go when trying to avoid censors

Yeah when I first made my account back in June, i was under the impression that it didnt matter what community you made an account on. They all are linked together. Over time it seems like some groups dont like other groups and defederate from them. Lemmy.ml was one if the biggest groups at the time, so I joined it

Rules

1. English only

2. Use original link
