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 just had all of my comments deleted by the mod of a vegan group because I questioned one person. Seems lemmy is bringing over mods from reddit and their attitudes.

I'm thinking it's just normal human power tripping. Which is why we need to find something better than the present system.

I haven’t had a single issue with feeling censored at DB0. If anything, it is users from other instances acting like they own the whole Fediverse that I have occasionally had a problem with, but I don’t think any of them were moderators.

My random choice of instance over a year ago with zero research has worked out well so far.

My instance has been really good, with some hiccups, but I also appreciate that it doesn’t rampantly defederate (to my knowledge) because while I can handle a more overbearing moderation staff I like being able to see other instances and appreciate the dialogue going on in them.

I've been thinking about switching over to lemmy.today as it's not currently defederated with anyone, so I can decide who to block and keep for myself. It's based in Oregon, and I like the idea of joining an instance close to me. I do worry about Lemmy.world being so overly dominate in the federated-lemmy-space.

But many of the communities that I participate in are lemmy.world, and it's nice that they send me an automated notice whenever a post/comment of mine is removed. I've already subscribed to many communities and would have to do that all over again. and I haven't thought of a creative new username.

You can use the same username since they're unique per instance. I had the same one on Lemmy.world

[-] Shimitar@feddit.it 5 points 4 days ago

I am the only (AFAIK) Italian instance and pretty happy. No censorship.

I don't know how people from Lemmy.world stand it, honestly.

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 13 points 6 days ago

Pretty good, it only defeds from two instances, one used by pedos and threads.

I've been on Lemmy for 4 months now. I've never had any problems with the rules. In fact, I haven't had any problems with any of the instances so far, even those that people consider "extreme" (like Hexbear and Lemmy.ml, people often complain about problems with their users, I personally haven't had any problems at all with them; on the contrary, I usually interact there in a productive and peaceful way, even when I disagree with them on some things).

I think it has more to do with people's behavior than with the strictness of certain instances/communities. I always try to be respectful. Respectfulness is the key.

I'm happy with it. I've gotten a few temporary suspensions for saying things that I still believe I had a right to say - but that's the thing, they're temporary suspensions for a reason. You sit through them, seethe a little bit, and champ at the bit for the opportunity to say the same thing again but angrier.

The only instances Lemmygrad defederates with are porn and fascist instances, which I think is fine - I'm not anti-porn, but you just make a second account for that stuff.

The only things that I think the Lemmygrad admins have a hard time adjudicating are "Internet Leftist" boutique issues - stuff that is rarely taken seriously by actual people in the real world but weirdos on the Internet think are very important.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 days ago

I have encountered very little if any at all

[-] shapis@lemmy.ml 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

From what I’ve read, in our instance, it’s being critical of China that gets you banned.

But I don’t know how much of that is people being straight-up racist/xenophobic and then conflating it with being critical.
