Someone wrote:

Fun fact, posting a link to this article got me banned from the Germany subreddit:

welcome to lemmy :)

To which I replied with a recent example of the same contempt for expression in the fedi. Then a moderator of !germany@feddit.org silenced the act of censorship itself in an effort to conceal exposure of fedi shenanigans/abuses. There is no higher contempt for transparency and speech than suppressing exposure of speech suppression.

Mbin is shit when this happens because authors completely lose a copy of their own comment (unlike Lemmy, where you can at least still see your own post which has a red padlock next to it).

I’m working blind here because I cannot see my own comments that were removed. But originally I wrote in !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com that German police were stopping people crossing a /schengen/ border to demand they show ID. Mods of !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com deleted my post with this reason:

Reason: what?

In this thread someone claims that Lemmy is free from these Reddit shenanigans. Of course I link over to the abuse by mods of !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. And THAT post was deleted by the abusive mods of !germany@feddit.org.

So it’s a chain of moderation shit-shows between a privacy mod who does not understand that 1940s gestappo is actually why we still today have a privacy movement, followed by a mod who censors the act of censorship.
