There will still be an amount of censorship on lemmy, it might just be on the opposite opinion of yours, so you won’t notice it. I’m pretty sure we’re slowly turning into an echo chamber as well
Absolutely! Especially communities like lemmy.ml. I just got banned for criticizing certain aspects of Communism. No alternate opinions are allowed apparently…
ml is unhinged. Its Tankies advocation for what they think is socialism, but they just end up regurgitating whatever the Kremlin propagates because they forgot Russia stopped being a Socialist country 30 years ago, and is a Capitalist Mafia state now,
Yeah, mods will just ban us if we get reported enough. It doesn’t matter if the reports or accurate or if we’re actually breaking any rules.
They don’t realize it, but that kind of behavior has a long term effect on the health and perception of the community.
I’m looking forward to the sections of the fediverse that don’t abuse their mod power. Right now we don’t really have any since most of the mods are immature.
The extreme political instances year, like hexbear , mil, grad are as bad as conservatives. Makes you wonder that they were justly banned from reddit as surely as they would if they step out of their instances
Ideally everyone should have his account hosted on a small instance managed by people you can trust, ettqer because you know tqem personally or beqause you trust someone who trust them.
Having huge instances which host a significative part of the userbase kinda goes against tho concept of decentralization. But in practice it rarely work that way

Lemmy is definitely turning into an echo-chamber among the bigger instances.
It’s okay, though. Once enough people get censored, it opens up the opportunity for people to start instances that don’t abuse their mod power.
Still, it keeps people away from Lemmy and makes it tedious to handle those situations

that’s why if you disagree with censorship/moderation policy of an instance, you can move to another one. You can’t do that on reddit.
Yea but those tend to be defederated quickly and not last for long, and each time you switch, you lose all the content you’ve posted and saved :(

That’s fine. “Defederation” will have less meaning as time goes on and there are different sections of the fediverse that support different ideals.
The more people that are afraid of “defederation” and adjust their behavior as a result, the more power it has.
