Even though that piece of information can be verified by other credible sources (like NBC News). This is a news post they personally didn’t like.
This is not the first time this particular mod, who has self-proclaimed to “hate biggotry” but seems to be more about “love censorship”, has done something similar.
Well, it’s NDTV…

You’re mad they don’t want propaganda?
Nah, I’m mad that:
And only after the mod found some comments in the thread that they didn’t like.
Even if it can be verified elsewhere, promoting specifically an unreliable right-wing site should be removed.
Do you not understand how reporting on a real thing can be propaganda?
Because that’s super important to understand in 2025…
Way more likely it just took a while to be reported and a mod to act on it, so you’d need some proof to back up accusations like that.
But the first bit is a lot more important.
Like, that’s basic media literacy, it’s important people understand that even though a headline is factual, it can still be propaganda
And removing thoughts you don’t like is still censorship. And creating echo chambers. Which this particular mod is doing a lot, though I won’t go as far as expose which mod it was because I’m not gonna abuse that I’m and admin (of different instance) and thus their choice of hiding mod names in modlog does not affect me.
What you were complaining about was the removal of an article from a known propaganda source for a far right government…
And you’re acting like it’s a free speech issue.
Like, if they were removing “thoughts” why are they leaving an article about it up that’s not propaganda?
Did you switch and know you’re complaining why your bigoted comments were removed?
Because that’s the same thing, if your “thought” are hate speech, it’s going to be removed on most civil spaces.
Go to Facebook or Twitter if you want to be bigoted with no moderation.
Quick edit:
An incredibly small one that uses a knockoff name similar to Lemmy.world with less than 50 users a day and goes weeks without a post…
If you’re saying your tiny corner of the fediverse is fine with propaganda and religious bigotry I’ll just block all that shit now so I don’t stumble in it later.
The only reason it’s still federated is likely it’s so small no one at lemmy.world has noticed.
