Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.

Yk i was insanely sceptical regarding the whole “but it probably has like fuckall users” part of Lemmy, but it feels miles less pretentious and inauthentic than reddit ever did. Wild how much more pleasant it is.
My main hopes for Lemmy really are that we manage to get a large enough userbase that more niche things arent excluded and forced to go to reddit, and that is isnt censored.
As much as i dont like some viewpoints from some groups (like the people supporting russia in ukraine, trump supporters, general trolls), i think censorship is more damaging than productive. I just hope that we can have nice things and it doesnt turn into a cesspool of either the far left or far right circlejerking eachother.
I doubt we'd ever have censorship here on Lemmy based on my understanding on how it works. If one instance starts censoring, people would just move to/make a new instance which is all still connected.
Unless I'm fucking misinformed?
that is my understanding as well
Yeah no youre right. Theres still the chance of the major instance that everyone is using being censored but ig thatd be a temporary problem.
