Sure but that doesn’t make the matter above reproach. The fact that the Lemmy devs have a soft ban on discussing a literal fucking war in Europe in their own instance is generally something which should be discussed and made widely known.

Also censorship on large instances absolutely impacts discussion across the broader fediverse. It’s not like people are coming in here wanting to say the N word or deny the Holocaust. This is a topic which is on the front page of every newspaper. Even among other examples of senseless editorial, the policy is notable.
