Just to give everyone a heads up.

Over the past few days, it seems like things have suddenly gotten slower on lemmy.ml specifically. Loading other instances websites seems to be a lot faster for me. Haven't seen any one else talk about it, so wasn't sure if it's just me

EDIT: Huh, right as I posed this, things seemed to suddenly get faster. Not sure if something was restarted or something like that

Heya, I am trying to create a second account for managing a community of the same name.

Are user application rejections accompanied by an email?

The user that I am talking about is /u/sagar@sopuli.xyz. His old account was /u/sagar@lemmy.ml. Reason for previous ban: Rape culture proponent and sexual terrorism. I have removed his recent post on /c/india@lemmy.ml.

Pinging @davel@lemmy.ml , @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml.

Also pinging admins of sopuli.xyz, @Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz and @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz.

Starting today, I noticed that posting a comment takes upwards of 2-3 minutes until it's committed (the "reply" button is turning round and round for a long time). Is there something wrong with the servers or some sort of moderation? Not sure what's going on or why.

Hello! I'm relatively new to the Fediverse, and still getting to know how it all works as a long-time lurker from Reddit. I've noticed that some posts and comments have censorship, where the b-word, r-word, and others are replaced with "removed" regardless of context. I was wondering if that is a setting I missed, or determined by being on the *.ml instance, or otherwise. Additionally, I've noticed that I don't have access to the same communities as my friends on *.world, and was curious if there was a list of differences or communities that might be censored for some reason. Any tips on where to go to figure this out would be super appreciated!

I know that lemmy's moto is if you don't like it here make your own, but for communities with big sub numbers and where current event discussions happens. banning controversial political opinions is not what I would have expected from the fediverse after having left corporate media, which could be excused for having to answer to investors and what not!

After I got a comment banned for what I think is nothing else but controversial, where it received quite the same amount of upvotes and downvotes, I took a look at that community's mod log, and there is nothing to be cheerful about. the same reddit mods have made it to the fediverse and are trying to turn it into the same hive mind other social media are, it is a shame it is turning out to this.

For personal reasons, I am going to quit using Lemmy. I have two communities under me, I would appreciate it if someone wants to take over:

• !india@lemmy.ml
• !oldies@lemmy.ml
