lemmy.ml is terribly moderated - how and where do you settle this?

I’m not quite sure how I best encourage this discussion - so I’ll ask this here. I am somewhat shocked, how /c/[email protected] is moderated. Large parts of the instance are in my view in tankie-territory like lemmygrad or hexbear, so much so that I find it borderline unaccaptable.

I question myself, how something like this could have consequences. Feddit has blocked both lemmygrad as well as Hexbear, lemmy.ml is several times larger and in many parts not problematic. Would that instance be blocked users would be unable to access a lot of content.

I ask myself, how do you settle this in the Fediverse, especially when it comes to larger instances. If the admins on feddit find the mods on lemmy.ml problematic, which avenues could they pursue to pressure them without defederating.

Other titles I thought about:

Feddit.de not beating the nazi instance allegations

Lemmy.ml welcome to the resistance

Also the incident that caused this very reasonable and very normal fedditor to get not mad at all

    Yeah its an incredibly bad instance but most of it is just shitty bad and I just thought this was more funny bad because guy getting banned to then 4 hours later go and make a post about defeding is funny. As for the transphobia I wouldn’t be surprised if the admins there will just hand wring about freedom of speech and shit like that.

      Didn’t know it’s that bad there, given the content posted i had assumed they’re at least radlibs. Granted, that doesn’t mean much when both the antideutsche and anti-imperialist left in Germany have an entire wing of outspoken transphobes.

        I’ve posted some of their threads in the past and they are just not alright, one standout one was when Yemen imposed a blockade a ton of people fell over themselves to say how much disgusted they are because now the west will just have to blow up brown people, or when that UNHRW was happening and they just had to say that ‘of course Hamas has completely undermined that organisation we shouldn’t give them any money at all this all makes perfect sense’ like there’s a reason that AfD (the most fascist party) is polling at 20%+ and feddit.de is just proof of it.

      Many such cases, though usually it’s under an hour later.

        Imagine malding for longer than 10 seconds about anything on the Fediverse. People act like it’s valid for the sake of critique but I’ve never seen a critique of the platform made better by barely masked rage.
