I couldn't possibly know what you've posted but I've found that anyone worried about getting banned for "telling the truth" is actually posting unsubstantiated conspiracy theories and/or misinformation lol

Hopefully that's not what you mean.

But Linux IS the superior desktop OS if you just give it a try! That's not a conspiracy or misinformation, just the truth!!! But they don't want you to know that (how do I type a really, really big "/s" on Lemmy?)

At the beginning of Covid, reasonable people that were trying to tell people that the vaccines aren't 100% effective and should probably take other precautions on top were getting banned for "vaccine misinformation" and were being lumped in with the Covidiots. It was a trigger-happy moment for social media that was trying to brute-force moderation on keywords alone without looking at context.

Not saying that's what happened to this person, but it did happen.
