There’s been a couple of minor dust-ups on mastodon about the conduct of so-called “big accounts” there that I do not care to comment on, but it has got me thinking — do we even have “big accounts” on the threadiverse (Lemmy/piefed/mbin)? I don’t think there’s any handle I’ve seen where I’ve been like “oh yeah, that person.” Am I just bad at remembering usernames, or does the community/thread style of discussion remove all continuity for a single account?

this is lemmy we're talking about. There's as much censorship as reddit, just opposite political sides

This is manifestly untrue. You can stand up an instance and literally no-one can censor you.

Lmao. 'There is no censorship, you jus have to leave, make your own space and do whatever you want.'

That is censorship.

I run a personal website where I host my resume. Is it censorship that I don’t allow you to post there, either?

Obviously meant through a regular account on your average instance

And yea you can be censored through defederation
