I agree, although I feel like that's across the board for Lemmy. Mods aren't all joining together and discussing the rules they will enforce. Every community has its own idea of how moderation works, and we all do what we see fit or please. I've seen some stupid shit on the modlogs everywhere, often using the ban and remove content feature that essentially scrubs the user's history, which imo should be fixed.

I do feel like .ml takes that to an extreme, though. Like, what do you mean you can't criticize Russia or China without being banned by an admin? Dessalines is especially guilty of this, and the other admins deflect and defend his behavior.
