Haha yes, that's usually the issue. I talked down below about getting banned on slrpnk because of some things I was saying. The comment thread with all the highly-upvoted replies getting removed by the mod, and the downvoted stuff intact, is hilarious to me:

The same mod also had a habit of arguing with people, while removing their comments but leaving his own side of the argument intact. He's still a moderator there. In my opinion slrpnk needs to spend less time talking about anarchism and more time embodying anarchism.
I use solarpunk and disappointed that it happened to you. I felt like solarpunk was the best instance Lemmy has, it feels like it has the least amount of echo chamber. Maybe I'm wrong.
I moderate my own community in solarpunk and I will try my best to not be like the moderator you talk about
I think you will see that these accusations have little substance, are taken out of context and argued in bad faith 🤷♂️
I know you're not the same moderator they were talking about, but I just want to make you aware of this: https://ponder.cat/comment/1193264
This is not the first time this is discussed and bringing it up out of context is just bad-faith arguing.
I started out aiming to talk about the issue without reference to any past drama, but then someone specifically asked, "censorship from the mods, are you directly experiencing it? If yes, on which instance?" and specifically as related to anarchist points of view. Before today, I'd pretty much forgotten about the whole thing, but it's a pretty valid and interesting question and so I sent some of the citations about when it happened to me.
I can feel through the screen how much you would like to be able to just order me not to be able to discuss this anymore, since my view is officially "incorrect" according to you. Fortunately, that's not how it works.
Sorry but these age old troll tactics of baiting me into a response to these completely unfounded accusations will not work 😜
You keep dismissing said person as a troll, yet I feel like they have a point
They are misrepresenting the facts and arguing in bad faith. Very typical concern trolling.
Engage with the points or move on. This whole "i won't be baited" reeks of so much hubris and but hurt
