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

I am very happy with feddit.org . I have not seen an issue with overmoderation, but I have also not seen a problem with spam or trolling. I believe hexbear is (rightfully so) defederated but other then that i did not notice any defederations.
The do not allow pornography which I support as you would essentially be hosting it yourself when it is federated which can become icky quickly. But I think this is a bit of a difference to other instances.
The instance also has a nice little community which is active enough to not be boring but small enough to feel like a community (might also be because of having a common language)
No issues here
Lemmy.world defederated with many interesting instances.
No piracy communities for example!
I couldn’t stand it.

I’m on my own instance, so i dont have anything to complain.
Just in case anyone needs to investigate what instances are federated/defederated from each other.
o7 thank you for your internet link service comrade
What censorship?
Can you point us to some disagreements the people in your instance have had with moderators? Do you have any specific links for us to view? If censorship is happening I’d like to know more about it.
I’m an instance owner (it’s very small) and the only thing I don’t tolerate is hate messages and subversive spam (“www,BuyGoldHere123,Spam,me”). I haven’t yet needed to delete anything my users created.

No because there aren’t any. There are very few active users on WG and I have no desire for it to ever become very big. I originally created it for myself to experiment with and I don’t really promote or advertise the instance itself even though people are welcome to join.
The people who have joined tend to share common interests so things have mostly remained the same as when it was just me. The “walled” part of WG is more or less the application process itself, since it removes easy access for troll and bot accounts.

I’ve seen some of these spam posts in our communities before but always from outside instances. They are very easy to keep under control and I wouldn’t consider that censorship, just garbage removal.
Ironic instance name for one you’re implying is uncensored.

I think it’s quite fitting for federated social media.
Massive fan of feddit.uk and Lemm.ee, moderation has been great, feddit.uk the admin have shown a willingness and urgency in helping user. My personal experience; helping with resetting a backend issue effecting my account and looking into bot’ed down voting when I DM’d them.
Lemm.ee is just good with their federation philosophy which can be found on the sidebar.
Lemm.ee is nice. No complaints.
Agreed. I appreciate the well-thought and out level headed approach lemm.ee has taken.
Actually, for a moment I was annoyed they wouldn’t defederate with a certain offensive instance. But, now, looking back on it, I think they made the right decision. I appreciate that defederation is an extreme tool that shouldn’t be used lightly.
My instance has been really good, with some hiccups, but I also appreciate that it doesn’t rampantly defederate (to my knowledge) because while I can handle a more overbearing moderation staff I like being able to see other instances and appreciate the dialogue going on in them.
Doesn’t impact me so fine with it.
Pretty good, it only defeds from two instances, one used by pedos and threads.
My app (voyager) doesn’t show an extention following your username, are you also on mander.xyz?
Yes I am. That’s how lemmy’s web interface shows your username to me.
What’s up with threads?
It’s an attempt by Meta to swallow the fediverse via Microsoft’s old “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy.
I’m out of the loop. What instance is pedos? (Legit so I can block it, if hexbear isn’t defederated already)
Don’t want to link it for obvious reasons, but it’s burggit (dot) moe
I personally haven’t seen any of that while on my Hexbear account, the mods and admins usually do a great job of blocking all of that out.
Yeah I haven’t ever heard of or seen posts from there so I am super thankful the hexbear admins are on their shit
It works. One day I even tried to piss a mod off and he told me I could leave, and he didn’t care if I did.
So I said,… “based, I’m staying.”
No one on sh.itjust.works has ever thrown a hissy fit over any of my arguments or stopped me from scorched-earthing a conservative, so they’re a-ok by me!
I just had all of my comments deleted by the mod of a vegan group because I questioned one person. Seems lemmy is bringing over mods from reddit and their attitudes.
I’m thinking it’s just normal human power tripping. Which is why we need to find something better than the present system.
I’m on lemmy.one which has disabled downvoting. If I had known in advance I would have picked another instance. Unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t have a mechanism to transfer your account to another instance yet.
deleted by creator
Disabling down votes is good actually because it forces people to engage and not just down vote and move on.
That doesn’t really work if people from other instances do get to downvote.
What do you mean? Hexbear doesn’t have downvotes and people constantly complain about getting ratio’d by us. If an instance doesn’t offer downvotes it completely blocks downvotes from being recorded, it doesn’t leave you at the mercy of other’s downvotes.
It also benefits trolls and disingenuous conversation.
but sometimes i just want to be passive aggressive
Or you want to communicate that a highly upvoted thing isn’t unanimously supported, but you don’t want the tsunami of downvotes that comes with leaving a comment that says you disagree.
Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.
Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn’t even show you your total upvotes (karma… whatever it’s called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.
So why don’t you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.
I know I have.
(Lemmy is rad as fuck)
Holy shit I completely had no idea, why doesn’t this ever get brought up when they talk about voting in general? Thank you for letting people know.
