So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml

    Mine as flagged ‘yellow peril’. Now bear in mind I’m asian and have a direct interest in the article and my comment. Maybe the automod just removes reported posts. But really? Yellow peril? Wtf is that even?

      They use a lot of words like that or Sinophobia, orientalism, etc when the word they actually mean to use is wrongthink.
