    Why moderate?

    The working class is under no obligation to mourn the deaths of those who are actively trying to kill them for profit.

      Because this instance (and all other instances) physically reside in countries with content laws. If we don’t follow those laws, we can be shut down, and the admin/owners that reside in those countries could face legal consequences.

        Yeah, it’s a pity that the laws appear to be protecting those the best, who are responsible for the most suffering - after all those have the power to get those laws written.
        But that’s the thing: there’s a difference between ‘legal’ and ‘legitimate/true’ behaviour.
        While I understand that lemmy instances (et al) have to adhere to legal behaviour, I hope that people adhere to legitimate/true behaviour.
