good to know! I guess it's not showing in lemmur yet. indeed, the comments were (2)

I just read the deleted messages by the others and the reasons are ridiculous. The mods clearly impose their very personal opinion even on harmless issues.

Now I understand why Lemmy is so unpopular despite being well developed. It's basically the moderators' attempt to build their own happy island where they can only talk to like-minded people.

The advantage is that at least the main instance will not end up being the most numerous one. Soon many free instances will be opened and decentralization will be effective.

the reasons are cryptic. but you are basing your end of the discussion on .com web sites and magazines. this is not a proper way to claim evidence. you should be asking yourself, how can the other side reproduce, or follow your arguments, and provide links to support every important point you make.

half of medicine is a pseudoscience: you can't reproduce many of the researches, due to the undisclosed data or proprietary recipes, and medical scientists often have a very vague idea of how to do statistical analysis (medical test paradox as explained here, changing data acquisition protocols, lack of transparency of how the data was collected and operated, and many more). that doesn't mean, though, that magazines, a middle man, are a good place to refer to when arguing about it. others will support your discussion if they are worth talking to.

Man, I'm not pretending this is the truth, I'm just saying mine are legitimate ideas and I have the right to express them. This is censorship, period.

this (lemmy.ml) is a face instance, censorship is expected here (and skeptically frowned upon). admins ban on face instances quite aggressively. my point being, ideas are easier to silence than evidence. but then, isn't that the point of evidence. in that case, I would've been on your side without discussing this.
