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 feel OK about it, for the most part. I can say "genocide is always wrong" and not get banned here.

But ya can’t see the word bitch (or a bunch of other swears)

[-] NotLuigi@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

How will I ever decide whether or not to make this tradeoff?????

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

good. not everyone wants to deal with misogyny.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 days ago

Oh no, not the tyranny of the regular expression filtering of a few bigoted words! This is fascism!

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Bitch isn’t a bigoted word lawl

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago

It's misogynistic, pretty clear cut bigotry.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

Not if you’re calling something cool “bitchin’”!

I only see removed but this comment makes me think of female dogs

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Yerp, that’s exactly correct hahaha

Other instances don’t remove words

[-] tiredturtle@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Definitely an example of an over the top word removal, while I get it could be purposeful with some words

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

The root word is baked in misogyny, that doesn't change that dynamic.
