Lemmy.ml is ABSOLUTELY authoritarian. Just look at their modlog. They have a vague “rule 1” rule that basically means at the admins discretion. The mods are flaccid and useless while the admins do all the moderation, and on top of that, they even ban people for posting shit in non .ml instances!
.ml is completely voluntary and I can see everything going on in it. Being dicks isn't the same thing as being authoritarian. I don't have a problem with pre-emptive banning as a concept, so we'll disagree there because trans coms ban people who've never posted to them, too.
I don't know what the "mods are useless" thing is about. Looks like they manage their communities normally?
On top of that, .ml is one of the biggest instances, so "they" is a lot of different people. Kinda like how people say .world is full of trolls, or sh.itjust.works is a nazi bar, or .today is right wing.
Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

Quit with the apologia.
