How do you feel about the level of censorship in your current instance ? (lemmy.ml)

Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.

How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?

I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.

And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.

So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.

Most of us never say anything interesting enough to censor.

Most of the censoring is mob dogpiling.

But ya, I hate it.

And even if you don't get censored, look at who you're talking to. You're trying to reach the 1 smart person in 1000.

What we need is the 1990s internet. A collection of niche communities. And the 99% stays way over there in facebookland or whatever they had back then.
