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.

My instance is great.

In that case check the modlog and if it's unreasonable why not try out another instance?

Removed by mod

Doesn't impact me so fine with it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

It's not bad at all so far.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I’m satisfied, I haven’t seen or noticed any censorship.

My instance doesn’t seem to have any censorship as far as I can tell, but despite what terminally online people would expect, it’s not overrun by Nazis.

I run my instance so I am perfectly happy with the level of censorship.

Said instance is narrowly focused on free software and free culture issues, so unrelated politics would be off-topic. That said there is a fairly bog standard code of conduct prohibiting bigotry, nazism and the like.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Instance level censorship isn't much for the user to worry about (I run my own, so it's zero problem for me). Most censorship happens at the group level by group owners, and the admins on the instance the group is hosted.

I still don't have a problem with it though. You subscribe to a group on a certain instance, you cannot be too surprised if you get censored there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

It is precisely what I want.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Mostly I haven't had issues with it, I was banned from an egg_irl community on one instance, I forget which, for not espousing violence though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

It works. One day I even tried to piss a mod off and he told me I could leave, and he didn't care if I did.

So I said,... "based, I'm staying."

No one on sh.itjust.works has ever thrown a hissy fit over any of my arguments or stopped me from scorched-earthing a conservative, so they're a-ok by me!

Lemmy.nz is amazing, the big instances are all much worse.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

honestly too light

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

We don't allow (almost) any kind of political discussion in the group I moderate. However, I've never had to take any mod actions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

My instance is great. I have no complaints and seen no censorship.

Supper happy with lemmy.word

You can actually have a conversation there without the whole thing being taken over by people who write like they are edgy 14 year old American tankies.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 days ago

Okay with it.

Mostly they are CSAM instances being blocked, nazi shit, and tankies. I don't like seeing those anyways.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 days ago (11 children)

You might consider crossposting this to similar communities on other instances. .ml has quite the reputation for censorship, so that's definitely going to shape the responses you get here.

Mine's cool.

Yours otoh will ban you for political disagreements (read: supporting the authoritarian states they don't like OR not supporting the authoritarian states they do like) and censors the word "bitch," which is why I left the second new instances popped up. As an anti-any-authoritarian who considers that a bitchin' opinion it's not the place for me.
