How do you feel about the level of censorship in your current instance ? (lemmy.ml)

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.

All instances ban based on political disagreements, and this is largely dictated by which of the 3 general ideological "camps" on Lemmy the instance leans towards, be it liberalism, Marxism, or Anarchism. Instance choice is largely a selection of which bias you prefer, as everyone has bias.

Censoring misogynistic slurs is a good thing as well, in my opinion
