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've just been around on Lemmy for around a year, and as a Marxist-Leninist I've had different experiences with different groups, including chatting with the mods and admins of dbzer0 (who... tolerate me, I suppose, despite our differences). This is coming from personal experience, as well as reading theory with respect to why people hold the views they do, such as False Witnesses and Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing." Don't just take my word for it, I try to be open about my biases and encourage others to do so as well.

As for checking my modlog, on the web version you can click the 3 dots under my comment and click "Cowbee Moderation History," which will show you what comments and posts of mine have been removed and where I have been banned from, though in totality my mod log is not that long compared to many other users. Keep in mind it displays all content as plain text in the mod log, so quotations and whatnot don't appear as formatted comments would and images are displayed as links.

Thanks for the citations. That is wise to be open about your biases, since we all have them. Makes me think that I was hesitant to discuss my username beyond the joke part because I keep getting attacked.

Ah, thanks! That seems frustrating!
