Take a look through the modlog and it’s clear mods are banning people just because they disagree with/don’t like them. Even when rules aren’t being broken, posts are still getting removed.
I think the mod team doesn’t follow its own rules. If they see a post they disagree with or one that gets lots of reports, then they’ll just make up a rule that it’s breaking to remove it.
I encourage everyone to inspect the modlog for themselves to see what is being censored from them.
The mods here clearly have a biased agenda and are manipulating posts to serve that agenda.
Does anyone know of any less-biased/corrupt news communities?
Without scrubbing through the modlog, what do you think their bias is?
I’m gonna guess this 15 minute old account is the user from lemmy.ca that just got banned earlier today for homophobic comments.
Was it mods or admins?
Admins have removed my posts for illogical reasons and ignored me when I tried to follow up with them for clarification.
Can’t say I’ve seen much evidence of questionable moderating in this community so far.
Worldnews@lemmy.ml, on the other hand tho? Wew lad
Does anyone know of any less-biased/corrupt news communities?
Lemmyverse.net has a searchable list of communities spanning the whole of the Threadiverse, and it’s probably the best tool to find an existing community that fits whatever one is looking for.

If a community doesn’t yet exist that has rules/moderation procedures that fit your preferences, then you can start one and aim to make it an appealing place to attract users. I’d pay attention to the instance rules when you set it up to make sure that it’s in line with whatever the instance permits.
Not a mod here, but mod of Politics and World News and there have been a BUNCH of new spam/troll accounts lately, some of whom are mimicking the user names of good contributors in the hopes of getting them banned.
That being said, I’d expect THIS post to get removed as it’s meta in content, I dunno how seriously the News mods take it, we’d remove it in Politics and World News, but then I’d also stickie an explanation for what’s going on.
