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'm happy with Lemmy.ml. I feel like moderation is taken seriously here and that is a very good thing. I don't care for "free speech" that provides a platform for immoral points of view. For example, I do not need to consider the opinions of racists or Nazis. I've heard them plenty and there is no redeeming value in their speech. It is a settled debate. Anyone who doesn't understand that deserves your suspicion.

Also on .ml and agree. Nazi shit on an instance makes it unusable as far as I'm concerned.

The only thing I want to know about nazis is how far away they are so I can adjust my aim.

.ml rocks. I know people are upset when tankies post walls of text but it's their space to. I just wish they could live how they want, same as I do. Even if we want very different things in life. Want some get some.

You don't have to craft a PhD dissertation any time they reply to you. Just move on to the next shit post. Some feel obligated, and that's your perogative. I have to many part time jobs to reply to everyone here.

Our informative well-sourced arguments, their propagandistic walls of text

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 21 hours ago

I'm very comfortable on the .ml instances where I participate, mostly reading, commenting much less because I'm still learning and considering perspectives that I was heavily propagandized to reject. My questions are answered, my thoughts are challenged, and sometimes I have to chew on that for awhile. Other thoughts it seems are "we won't know until we know," and I'm okay with that. It's not always comfortable, it's very often uncomfortable, but I feel it's necessary for my personal development as a human being. I don't know everything, no one can, but I'm willing to consider perspectives that were once foreign and/or shunned by myself. It's not even necessarily that I automatically believe everything I read, more that I'm working to suspend disbelief in order to gather and consider more data. Iow, the older I get and more I understand, the more I realize how much I don't know and understand.

It sounds like you have a great attitude, and I can relate to a lot of what you say.
