I haven't knowingly encountered any

What censorship?

Doesn't impact me so fine with it.

It's a little high for my tastes, notably in blocking piracy communities from other servers. I don't even care to participate in them; it's a matter of principle.

The automated censorship that keeps out CSAM and blatant trolling and scams? I love it.

The moderation that's done over the whole instance. That's understandable as it's a large attack surface for regulatory or state actor interference.

The community mods, that depends on the /c and honestly it's the same as it's ever been. It's wildly variable from person to person.

I'm completely unaware of it and DGAF.

I'm not a huge fan of the pro-China stuff in lieu of the pro-US stuff on other servers, but its mostly chill

Most of us never say anything interesting enough to censor.

Most of the censoring is mob dogpiling.

But ya, I hate it.

And even if you don't get censored, look at who you're talking to. You're trying to reach the 1 smart person in 1000.

What we need is the 1990s internet. A collection of niche communities. And the 99% stays way over there in facebookland or whatever they had back then.

I have no problems with lemm.ee. Mastodon on the other hand...

I got booted from my first instance for going against prevailing opinion even though I was perfectly polite about it.

I don't feel I'm missing out on anything important. I don't want my instance to engage in any form of ideological censorship (in any direction at all unless required by law) and don't feel they are doing that. But I'm glad this thread exists because it tells me about other instances I could try if I ever became dissatisfied with mine.

Delighted. Constructive or helpful disagreements are encouraged, and the mods ensure that I hardly ever encounter a bigot.

If there is any I have not noticed it.

My instance is great.

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.

In that case check the modlog and if it's unreasonable why not try out another instance?

It's not bad at all so far.

I’m satisfied, I haven’t seen or noticed any censorship.
