          Without meaning this as a defense of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine: go check .world mod history, every other deleted comment is “Russian troll” or “disinformation” or equivalents. If you defend a policy of censoring points of view more charitative to Russia than western narratives be open about it, it’s fine, just be aware that you’re actually doing it

            What is fine about censorship and banning ‘unwanted’ news sources?
            People aren’t allowed to make up their own mind?
            I have posted plenty of facts that got removed bcs it didn’t fit the US narrative.
            There is plenty to say on the violent US instigated coup of 2014 and the horrible war commited by the Banderite regime for 8 years.
            Somehow the MSM didn’t care and even whitewashed them later.
            Mentioning that is not ‘Russian propaganda’.
            I don’t like Putin, compareds to the US he is by far the lesser evil.
            People refuse to see the manufactured consent and almost totalitarian information control.

              I don’t defend the uncritical banning of non pro-western outlets or viewpoints carried out by .world mods, I’m asking them that if they ban comments for it, they should be open about it and admit that they will censor non-pro-western voices.

                OK, I agree.
                Even then, it’s much worse on other social media where you getpermabanned for the slightest.

                  While I agree, the discussion in other instances like .ml or hexbear is much more nuanced IMO (plenty of critical voices against Russia too, just not based on US State Dept. propaganda)

            Putin suckers of every calibre, including “not everything is this clear cut” motherfuckers should be shut as diligently as nazis. Their “viewpoints” are harmful and should be censored.

          I wouldn’t know what that is.
          And restrictive is a euphemism here in this circle jerk of manufactured consent and overcensoring
