Well, I’m stretching the truth just a little here. It has been reported that they’re censoring any links or mentions of the Fediverse (just like Twitter did with Mastodon), but they are engaging in gaslighting about the protests.
Most recently the subs that voted to become NSFW in protest marked themselves as such (thus self-filtering for anyone not wanting to see NSFW content), however the admins removed that designation from those subs… without removing the NSFW content first! They then sent the mods of those subs threatening messages about how the mods showed NSFW content to everyone without the proper filters in place!
God. This is the first I’m heading of Reddit staff actively organizing against Lemmy- what’s being said?

Some stuff I’m seeing is “But but, what if your instance admin goes crazy???” or “I just want ONE community, not a bunch of fragmented ones”
“but what if the ceo of your big centralized corporate website goes crazy?..”
Or conspire to remove credit from a dead man’s accomplishments.
