Does anyone know which Lemmy instances are censored?

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 months ago

censored

A very vague term on its own. Censoring what? The communist instances (e.g. lemmygrad) will ban racism and xenophobia to an extent that many people don't even understand how what they said was interpreted as xenophobic, but will let you post "I want to torture every billionaire in the world" and post footage of the assassination with no problem, while liberalist instances who allow more general liberty are often more scared to host endorsement of violence (e.g. lemmy.world).

All completely "free speech" platforms inevitably become safe havens for people unable to hold conversations (as in, medically delusional), ad spam, neo-Nazis, and child abusers who get kicked from every other forum. So you really need to be more specific when talking about what you consider censorship and what you consider common sense.

I was asking in general, thank you for the extensive answer.

Are there any that aren't? Thought it was cooked in.

No, that was controversial and was made optional before most active instances were made (post API scandal)

Edit: assuming you mean the word filter, not moderation as a whole.

why do you think that?

What do you mean by censored?

[-] vii@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

For example: removing anything related to Mangione's manifesto or "glorifying violence".

lemmy.world has some very power-hungry and boot-throating mods, especially when it comes to this.

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Ah. I don't have a list but I know that lemmy.world does its very best to emulate the worst parts of Reddit, including this.
