Of course, I realize that. For me, it’s simply a question of who I support. There is no alternative to the Fediverse. But I will not participate in communities that open the floodgates to censorship because they take the same approach as the goddamn IOC. “No politics” is one such rule, as this post shows- there could be no rule that is more broadly formulated and gives the mods maximum leeway for arbitrariness. There are certainly technical ways to give people the option to hide political posts in the most popular communities. However, since the Lemmy developers are staunch tankies, there is absolutely no hope of this happening with this application. So the logical consequence is to leave this platform.
