It’s hilarious how the moderators are Lemmy, specifically world, or removing anything about this. I’ve gone back to update several comments just to find the entire post was removed.

Seems like the new tactic is: let them say whatever they want but remove it later because moderation is too hard on a comment by comment basis

Ugh, is Lemmy.world turning into the new Reddit already?

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Sadly yes, but hey, there are other instances

Yeah kinda. Shady shit coming from world, politics, and news communities.

The others don’t seem as bad. It’s mostly about 5 or 6 very active mods.
