Please convince me that I should continue my support or advice what I can do. I’m prepared to do my part, but I can only do so if I can be sure that my support is not going to people who think arbitrary Censorship is alright (needs to be based on objective community rules and not on the political agenda of mods).
That sounds like a you problem
Is it my fault if a comment I posted is removed by .ml-Mods simply because it states that there can be no justification for terrorism?
Honestly, I can’t support that. Do you see it differently?

I didn’t realize that I was banned from .ml. Am I? Anyway, that’s not the point. My point is to support technology that allows free expression, especially since that’s not the case with mainstream platforms. And by free expression of opinion, I mean what is commonly understood by that term – not baseless insults, accusations, conspiracy theories, or anything else that lacks any factual basis. I mean the free expression of legitimate, debatable opinions. That should be the most natural thing in the world.

The developers of Lemmy (the software that runs this) are affiliated with lemmy.ml. I don’t like their attitude towards social media. That is why I asked if I can support Lemmy (the software) without contributing to Lemmy.ml.

That’s just stupid. I would definitely resort to terror tactics if fighting a stronger enemy, like THE COALESCED FORCES OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM. It’s not like you can talk amoral monsters into being good, or like you have the time and resources to develop nuclear bombs and aircraft carriers.
I just don’t want my opinion to be censored for political reasons. That’s what I had hoped for from Lemmy – not some propaganda bullshit. Do you really see this platform as a counterpart to Truth Social? If so, then I’m in the wrong place, because I’m interested in exchanging opinions and arguments, not in having my opinion confirmed.
Literally look at Truth Social. Or better, don’t. For a social platform to be healthy, it needs to be censored for poitical reasons. It’s just the political reasons have to be about, and for, good.
I got my comments deleted on Lemmy because I mention people’s possible hair colours, and was banned from Hexbear for similar reasons. I understand your frustration, I’m sorry it happens and honestly, I wonder if there are any better discussion spaces online (Reddit is even worse than what it originally was, which is saying a lot). I’m freeloading here, haven’t given Lemmy a cent, maybe you’ll feel better commenting here if you don’t give them any money? You might be silenced (until you create a new account), but at least you won’t get scammed.
Again, why is that my problem? You can post about that literally anywhere else. What you do with your money is not the concern of me, nor anyone else looking at this post.
