A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Nope. Still fully visible down there.

I'm being self-censored. Working for a very large corp that has a long list of topics I'm not supposed to discuss, and I'm pretty good at not talking about them under my real name. I'm quite certain that my anonymous comments may also be traced back to me, but the HR doesn't care about those.
Not since I stopped posting on .ml communities
.uʍop ǝpᴉsdn pɐǝɹ ʇuɐɔ sǝᴉdɯnu noʎ ǝsnɐɔǝq ʎluO
Yeah. I looked down at my wang and there was just a black bar.
Maybe? I keep getting "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
I censor myself quite frequently, although perhaps not frequently enough. It's the only kind I'll accept.
What [EXPLETIVE DELETED] are you talking about?
Would I know if I was?
if you self-censor, probably ;)
I called some racists on TikTok "gross" and that was removed. I'm not paraphrasing. That's the whole comment right there. Gross.
Absolutely, 100% not.
Guys.. it's pixelated 😨
Nope, only limited by stupid people.
No
I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn't worth the time to wait for it.
Yep, a few instances have banned me for stupid jokes. Like US NEWS and Politics. Some mods are fucking insane
Are you sure it is the mods? Think about it, what is the common denominator?
Yes, I was literally banned for a joke
Was it an offensive joke?
One ban is the notorious news sdf troll mod, edit: but otherwise they're needlessly inflammatory yeah I looked farther down.
There we go, yeah, gotta love being banned for nothing
Post here was " 'Golden Share' in US Steel gives Trump Extraordinary Control " Talking about Japan giving up shares to the US
My comment
Ah american hands on a company, its fucked now.
Is this ban worthy?? AITAH??
Nope
Only due to self-censorship.
Nah, that's less fun
There are certain topics I have to self censor about on Lemmy for fear of moderator action.
Lemmy is supposed to be anti censorship bro I got pushed to 4chan from getting censored literally anywhere else. All I wanted was to talk about mario and lugia
Not in RL. Only on Lemmy.
Yeah this site keeps blocking my password when I type it: 1LoveCalzones!
Edit:.... Oops guess not
Yes

Probably, most likely
It says banned 😭
On Reddit, yes. To the point where I've actually had to self-censor a lot of my comments and tip-toe around certain topics to avoid my comments being nuked from orbit by Automoderator.
Lemmy? Not really.
in Reddit and youtube, especially if you commenting against parasocial fans or right wingers of that specific channel.
reddit has the most oppressive censorship(which includes bans, and gatekeeping) of any social media site.
Yes but only on YouTube and for the most harmless of comments.
Probably downvoted by the same people that would downvote my above comment. 🙄
I am being wildly censored and repeatedly banned. I really REALLY REEEEEALLLY despise Nazis.
