We have free speech here.
Kinda. We have a bunch of small instances each with its own set of rules/norms. Lemmy.ml for example is not going to take a very different approach to moderation then lemmynsfw...
Everyone says that, but I haven't run into any issues and .ml is the main one I use
You're lucky! I did run into issues.
And you might never. But lemmynsfw is a porn instance whereas .ml is not. Hence different goals for moderation.
Since you deleted your comment within the last 15 minutes of posting it, it still shows up in my inbox.
"Try saying something bad about China"
Okay.
The CCP is a blight on humanity, just like the IDF/Israeli government, Russia, and now including the US. Fuck China, I'll never set foot in that country (except maybe Hong Kong) if I ever had the opportunity.
Now say that in a .ml-run community
Winnie the Pooh sucks my ass.
He want dat honey.
But in an .ml sub, like !worldnews@lemmy.ml or whatever they have over there, or even the official announcements sub. Bonus points if you reply to a federated Hexbear user with that.
Reminds me of the HD decryption key fiasco on digg. Everyone just kept posting it over and over in every thread. Moderators started banning people. People started jumping ship to Reddit.
It's what caused the first digg exodus, with the better known redesign failure being the second.
I don't get it. Reddit's so much more egregious than digg was - why haven't more users jumped ship? the soul of the platform was broken with the API change, yet most users stayed, and the ones who did leave haven't shown up here.
was Lemmy just not ready?
Because the user experience didn't change, so it wqsn't obvious unless you kept up with specific news.
Also, it's still where all the porn is.
It's kind of sad that it isn't as pronounced as it was on Digg.
at least on reddit people are complaining about the shadowbanning thats been going on, they said it was also unearned and criticized teh admins why were some accts shadowbanned for 10years,.
They've also really amped up the content moderation bots and are on the warpath for anything perceived to be bot accounts. Shadow bans are being given out for accounts that are hours old and haven't even posted.
If you'd only said it three times, you would've summoned him. So close!
