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.

I think 99.99% of Lemmy is hardcore leftist so it's no wonder they don't fuck with you, so it's no wonder that you have no complaints.

If "hardcore leftist" is defined as "left of Joe Biden," then sure. Within that group there are a wide range of opinions.

Lemmy largely has 3 camps, the Anarchists, the Marxists, and the Liberals, and each instance leans overwhelmingly in one or 2 of those directions. Looking at the number of active users on each instance, at this point it's fair to say that the liberal camp is probably the largest, as much as I wish that wasn't true.

That does make for ample radicalization territory, however.

Which is the Anarchists instance?

Most Anarchists I've interacted with are from hexbear.net
