@the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world in response to your comment, it was not a mod, it was head lemmy.ml instance admin themselves that removed all those comments. This is what tankies do, be sure to check the megathread for even more documentation.

    Yeah, the big issue is that the dev has admitted anything donated towards Lemmy’s development will also go towards running .ml. They don’t segregate the donation funds at all, which is a massive ethical conflict. It’s a large part of why so many people jumped ship to piefed instead, so they can feel better about donating to development without supporting a blatant tankie.
