So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

    I ran into something similar a couple days ago:

    I wrote a comment critical of Chinas actions in Africa, which was silently deleted after it got traction. When I looked at the mod log, my comment was not listed. Checked back on my comment, checked the mod log from another machine. Nothing.

    Just silently and covertly removed without any trace of who and why. Has me really suspicious

      That tracks. China’s (imperialist) abuse of Africa isn’t the message they want out there. They frame it as win-win collaboration

        Right. More like win and give up your sovereign right and decision making autonomy on all of the world bodies.
