    I trust the same level of scrutiny is applied to left-leaning sources, yes?

      If the left-wing source is one I am unfamiliar with and it touts a left-wing success of a left-wing government in such a glowing way, yes. I do. Because we have rules in this community and it’s my job to maintain them.

      As it happens, I delete left-wing posts which violate rule 3 on a regular basis.

      When people ask these sort of questions of me, I always suspect it’s because it’s not something they themselves would be even-handed about, so they expect that no one else would be.

        I ask because the bias I’ve seen on Lemmy has been both extreme and uniformly in one direction

          Are you talking about users or moderators? And if you are talking about moderators, are you talking about the moderators of World News? And if you are, do you have evidence to this effect?

          Otherwise, I see no reason for your initial post unless you just decided to find a random moderator to imply has a bias problem when enforcing community rules.

            Anybody who recognizes obvious and heavy bias must be a fascist or a communist, got it. Thank you for enlightening me.
