The admins are allowed to moderate however they like with the rules they see appropriate. If you disagree with their decisions, you shouldn't expect to be welcomed on lemmy.ml and should instead look for another lemmy instance that better aligns with your ideas.
That seems to defeat the purpose. I came here for civil discussion of differing opinions. If I wanted an echo chamber, I'd go back to reddit.
On a hunch... Reddit is far more tolerant of right leaning views than this instance of Lemmy. If I recall correctly, the creators have explicitly said they'd rather have strict moderation than a wide userbase. It's supposed to be part of the appeal.
