As much as I don’t want that to be true, you’re not wrong. I’ve been banned in .world for reporting an obvious troll. I’ve had comments removed for asking what the weather is like over there. I was told I was calling them a russian troll and that’s against the rules. BUT, then I get called a troll in the same instance by someone from .ml and no removal of the comment, no ban. Free to say as they please. Lemmy has a serious mod problem.
Part of it is a campaign of victimization by .ml types. They take every opportunity to throw tantrums and insist the mods are biased against them, so the mods then have to treat them with kid gloves to appear ‘impartial’.
It’s the same trick Republicans and other fascists in the US use.
It’s crap though. They spread misinformation and lies and nobody does anything about it. IF you call them out on their bullshit, they ban you and remove your comment. I blocked the three biggest offenders but then they have people going to .world and talking the same shit. It’s disappointing. It doesn’t look like the mods are impartial, it looks like they are on the side of .ml. (the obvious trolls)
I know it’s not all mods, some are great, but there are some bad actors out there that are making the good parts of lemmy look bad.

To be fair, still better than the alternatives
I agree
