Which major instances are know for having or not having censorship?
lemmygrad blocks anything not deemed acceptable by the Supreme Soviet
Their modlog is ridiculous!
This is where the transparency that comes with FOSS vs private corp really shines. You can always check an instance’s modlog to see for yourself where lines are drawn.
- Almost every instance will almost certainly filter illegal content in their respective jurisdictions, and those that don’t might not be around for long.
- There is a modlog. Just click on it, and you will see what gets removed.
lemmy.one is started by the guys from privacyguides which is a ripoff of privacytools. If I remember their drama correctly, the lemmy.one admin Jonah stole like 10k in bitcoin from the OGs and still hasn’t paid it back. They’ll delete anything you say about that over there and on their subreddit.
What is censorship for you? I mean do you want to have an instance that deletes nothing?
Yup
That sounds like a terrible place.
A place where no one is policing what people can say? Sign me up!
Censorship only applies to people you dont like saying things you dont like. Eventually it’ll be turned on you.
I mean, deleting content is, by definition, censorship. Not all censorship is bad. For example, I think everyone here wants spam to be censored. Let’s not change the definitions of words :)
I don’t want to change the meaning. I was just trying to find out if OP really means that: in instance that deletes nothing.
Fair enough, sorry if I misinterpreted your post
BeeHaw will supposedly censor what they deem to be “hate speech”
I’ve heard reports about lemmy.ml censoring criticism of the CCP. how true this is i don’t know. One of the devs apparently also runs Lemmygrad
Yeah I read that the main Dev of Lemmy is big supporter of communism.
So long as he keeps the lemmy updates coming i don’t care what he believes
Censorship of CCP criticism would be in the modlog if it were true. I’ve only been here a couple weeks but the only things I see the admins refuse to tolerate are racism, homophobia, and hate speech in general. They don’t allow porn but that has more to do with practical challenges than any (expressed) problem with other people wanting it.
You have to go back a day or two and it starts to add up. Looks like they’ve slowed down while there are more eyes. See this post for more details: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
