I just realised, I can't post anything on lemmy.ml

So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog, there's a new moderator.

All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Putin have been deleted and users banned

Is this a mod or modteam of a few communities, or is it a global mod outside of community mods?

I'm not shure how to read the modlog.

I’m not shure how to read the modlog.

Visit the instance in question, for example https://lemmy.ml/
Scroll to the bottom or Ctrl+PgEnd, click on "Modlog": https://lemmy.ml/modlog (as you see, you can also just append /modlog to the URL)
Filter by action, or filter by user. For example, enter your own name to see if you have been banned

This way, I just found out I've been banned on lemmy.ml for this comment which surely is snarky, and technically disrespectful. They did not ban Krause (parent comment). So I guess spreading lies is fine as long as you do it "respectfully". Speaking up to that gets you banned.
