Lemmy.nz is amazing, the big instances are all much worse.

My instance is great. I have no complaints and seen no censorship.

We don't allow (almost) any kind of political discussion in the group I moderate. However, I've never had to take any mod actions.

I've had some disagreements with admins of my instance and mods of some communities here and I'm yet to be banned. So, it's alright I suppose. Although I must say that I'm on the same general side of the political spectrum as the admins.

I am very happy with feddit.org . I have not seen an issue with overmoderation, but I have also not seen a problem with spam or trolling. I believe hexbear is (rightfully so) defederated but other then that i did not notice any defederations.

The do not allow pornography which I support as you would essentially be hosting it yourself when it is federated which can become icky quickly. But I think this is a bit of a difference to other instances.

The instance also has a nice little community which is active enough to not be boring but small enough to feel like a community (might also be because of having a common language)

Okay with it.

Mostly they are CSAM instances being blocked, nazi shit, and tankies. I don't like seeing those anyways.

You might consider crossposting this to similar communities on other instances. .ml has quite the reputation for censorship, so that's definitely going to shape the responses you get here.

Supper happy with lemmy.word

You can actually have a conversation there without the whole thing being taken over by people who write like they are edgy 14 year old American tankies.

Mine's cool.

Yours otoh will ban you for political disagreements (read: supporting the authoritarian states they don't like OR not supporting the authoritarian states they do like) and censors the word "bitch," which is why I left the second new instances popped up. As an anti-any-authoritarian who considers that a bitchin' opinion it's not the place for me.
