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.

I love that lemm.ee is federated with everyone, because that means I frequently encounter ideas that I - gasp - disagree with!

I think there's a huge difference between seeing opposing ideas and just seeing a bunch of propaganda and brigading.1

That's a bit of an interesting dillema. Anyone that supports something consistently is doing propaganda, so it's generally better if people reveal their biases. As for brigading, it's difficult to tell if there's just a large group of an ideologically different instance coming across a post in their all feed or of its a concerted effort.
