Strong moderation abilities, and instance admins like ourselves who actually ban white supremacist communities and not sit on their hands about hosting the largest one on the internet, for years.
edit: like just today, we had a few TERF communities try to set up here. It took us less than a day to ban them. Its not difficult.
Gotta say, Lemmy is both way more active and way better curated so far then other Voat or any of the other Reddit clones
That’s good to hear, I’ve got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:
Make America Great Again removed by mod
No Posts.
Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?
That’s exactly what it means.
Assuming they’re generally on the same instance ::cough EH cough:: others can just defederate if they want. Those that are harassing and spreading hate speech on mixed servers can be blocked, banned from communities, or the instance in question if egregious enough.
Edit: Am I resurrecting a 3 year old post rn?
the Hot sorting seems to be made of chewing gum and twigs, probably best to switch to top per day until they fix it.
It’s suddenly relevant again lol
Just happened on sh.itjust.works and we booted them https://sh.itjust.works/post/381489
Oh I’m well aware lol. I’m a sh.itjust.works user as well and have been seeing the controversy that sub brought about the last few days.
You are indeed resurrecting a 3 year old post haha!
Glad to see so many of you here now though!
There are way more of us than there are of them. Let them scream impotently into the void and hear nothing come back.
Sure, maybe they will rally some numbers and try ti make noise, but ultimately they will just get bored and move on as things aren’t as monolithic here in the fediverse as they are on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter/etc.
I’m genuinely curious, looking to move from Reddit due to heavy-handed mod abuse and the extreme leftist bias of virtually all the big subreddits. Is Lemmy going to be a place where free speech is honored, or will conservatives always get the boot like on Reddit? I’m not talking about hate speech or calls for violence, I’m just as against that as the next person. But I’d like to know I’m not going to get banned because my opinion differed from that of a mod.
You don’t understand Lemmy. Feel free to host your own instance with your conservatives views. It will likely get defederated by other instances, but nobody’s stopping you.
That was 3 years ago, I don’t think they’re gonna see this.
Haha, post age is a constant reminder that the Fediverse wasn’t getting much action for a long time. I don’t even know how many replies I’ve posted then noticed the age.
The “active” and “hot” feeds are kind of broken. Clearly configured with the lower post volume in mind. I suggest top>day until it’s fixed.
or will conservatives always get the boot like on Reddit?
If it stinks of shit everywhere you go then maybe it’s time to look under your shoe? 🤔
While there’s value in conservative thought most people who subscribe to it don’t know how to exercise it.
Don’t conservatives have an entire subreddit all to themselves that no one else can post in?
As long as you realize free speech means free from prosecution, not free from consequences.
Make your own echo chamber idiot 😎😎😎
