MODERATORS
A correction/clarification for those people who are trying to find freedom of speech on Fediverse,
as Nate says, nothing on the Fediverse is private.
Because everything is transparent, and they all link to your personal email address.
Freedom of speech on Fediverse is still limted cuz it is not private, and still has moderator.
Remember, Freedom can't exist without Privacy.
No space on the internet was ever private. But it is even less private with Lemmy as it stands because even your voting history can be determined by others running their own instance.
I mean, that depends on how you categorize privacy rights. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me.
From my understanding, 100% private means secret, things that are only known by yourself.
But what if we want to release some of them to the world but make sure we don't expose our identity?
To me, that somehow falls under the category of privacy rights as well.
And you know what? Using a decentralized social platform like WireMin gives you the private space you are talking about.
It has DM, Chat space, Feed for blog post (everything is E2EE, so pretty private for me)
