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.

Delighted. Constructive or helpful disagreements are encouraged, and the mods ensure that I hardly ever encounter a bigot.

Instance level censorship isn't much for the user to worry about (I run my own, so it's zero problem for me). Most censorship happens at the group level by group owners, and the admins on the instance the group is hosted.

I still don't have a problem with it though. You subscribe to a group on a certain instance, you cannot be too surprised if you get censored there.

Mostly I haven't had issues with it, I was banned from an egg_irl community on one instance, I forget which, for not espousing violence though.

It is precisely what I want.

It works. One day I even tried to piss a mod off and he told me I could leave, and he didn't care if I did.

So I said,... "based, I'm staying."

No one on sh.itjust.works has ever thrown a hissy fit over any of my arguments or stopped me from scorched-earthing a conservative, so they're a-ok by me!

My instance doesn’t seem to have any censorship as far as I can tell, but despite what terminally online people would expect, it’s not overrun by Nazis.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

Ditto. SDF feels very nerdy and comfortable.

[-] beyond@linkage.ds8.zone 2 points 1 week ago

I run my instance so I am perfectly happy with the level of censorship.

Said instance is narrowly focused on free software and free culture issues, so unrelated politics would be off-topic. That said there is a fairly bog standard code of conduct prohibiting bigotry, nazism and the like.

It's not bad at all so far.

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Both on lemm.ee and thelemmy.club its not very strict its just Common sense rules.

Lemmy.world defederated with many interesting instances.

No piracy communities for example!

I couldn't stand it.
