I’m getting tired of the heavy-handed moderation tactics used by people like Jordunlund for lemmy.world. It seems like most mods don’t really care about their rules and will remove posts and ban people they don’t like because they can.

Where can I find instances that don’t do this? It’s fine if I have to read people saying things I don’t like or make me uncomfortable; if it really bothers me I can just block them and move on.

I don’t want people like Jordunlund dictating what I get to see, though.

Edit: It’s really sad how many of you get angry at the thought of someone who doesn’t want random people on the internet cenosoring things from them. I chalk this up mostly to the snowball effect taking hold. Most of you only know censorship and people who support it, so you’re going to do the same to look good in front of your peers.

Hopefully we can get more lemmy and fediverse instances that allow people to say what they want.

Censorship works, which is why so many of you have been conditioned to like it.

You people should look at nations that don’t allow freedom of speech to see that kind of culture that you’re really fighting for. I guarantee most of the people getting upset at the idea wouldn’t like to live in places like Iran, Russia, or North Korea.

And of course, not a single person gave an actual answer or even tried to stay on topic.

    I’m rarely silenced here (5 removed comments in over 1000?) and my ideology is pretty much the opposite of the average Lemming. I agree with you that the best way to go about discussions online is to block someone you find offensive but, if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly are you posting that’s getting nuked on the regular?

      ELI5 How did freedom of speech ended up being a term used by neo-nazi and other people who oppose other’s fundamental freedom (including free speech) as soon as they can

      Nobody is going to ban you for post which state reasonable opinion, even if you state that private insurance in healthcare and regulated immigration are a good think but people aren’t happy when you advocate genocide or don’t want queer people around kids

        The neo-nazi playbook is to use benign language to soften their otherwise unpalatable ideology.

        Want to create an echo-chamber where the worst politicians can do whatever they want? “States rights”.
        Want to disguise the racism as patriotic? “America first”.
        Want to be able to say anything, any time, and play the victim card when people call out the bullshit? “Free speech”.

      They’re a troll account who has posted several thousand times in the past 24 hours and keeps getting shut down by both myself and lemmy.world admins.

      In just the past few hours:

      https://lemmy.cafe/u/MandiHanks
      https://lemmings.world/u/ZioDumbokrat69
      https://lemmy.cafe/u/LEMMY_DEMOCRACY_NOW
      https://lemmyverse.link/u/LEMMY_DEMOCRACY_NOW@lemmy.cafe

      But seriously, they are a no-lifer who was baned for cause months ago and has since created HUNDREDS of throwaway accounts that get banned immediately, also for cause.

        Wow, I feel sorry for what you need to deal with. I hope you did not have to remove all their comments one by one though!

                It’s sad watching you be so confidently wrong while in a position of power. This is why you don’t deserve it and we need better instances.

                You’ll only have yourself to blame.

                  And yet you keep saying the same things that get you banned over and over again…

                  It’s sad really. Have you considered therapy? Serious question, you clearly need help.

        Jesus, thousands of posts in a day and hundreds of accounts? There has to be automation there. Even if you’re using automated tools to moderate, what a pain in the dick. Cheers for keeping the chuds like this asshole at bay.
