True, they do a lot of this under the guise of copyright enforcement as well (which you can change your dns to fix generally). I don't understand how this censorship is any different from what we look down upon authoritarian countries. I like the idea of a free and open web
But in this specific case if they blurred out the content and put a warning: "This post contains graphic content, do you wish to view it?". Or perhaps we could use AI to give a description so people know what they're getting into. There's nothing wrong with that, and I don't know why that isn't good enough.
I might sound hypocritical as a mod of a few communities on here who has removed a few comments that don't meet our standards, but comments on Lemmy aren't truly removed (unless an admin purges it) and can be viewed in the modlog (or with a client that doesn't respect the condition when a comment has been removed, there's still quite a few where this is the case).
