Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.
One of these days they'll suck the boot so far down their throats they'll asphyxiatiate, but at least they'll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.

65 0 ReplyMaybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user's moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.
26 0 ReplyMy comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I'm sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.

Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?
That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.
I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).
Or am I misunderstanding?
(Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)
4 0 Reply.world defederate and blocked a ton of communities. obviously some of them seems bordering on illegal, but they are also blocking alot of other ones.
11 0 ReplyOh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.
My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
