Yes it is. Yes it is.
If you really interact with the lemmy community you know they are very pro "freeze peach", which means it comes with all the fascists, all the phobias, and the trolls.
I like Beehaw for what it is. Tight moderation.
Lemmy World is not a "free speech" platform.
Point 1 in the "Principles that Guide Us" section: https://lemmy.world/legal
ok....? But it is not my experience there and from the responses here they seem to agree with me.
A principle is not useful when it is not enforced.
Level with me here. How many comments do you think you remove a week, and how many bans do you think you hand out?  in fact, I’m pretty sure you could look at your mod actions and see how many people your mod team has banned and how many comments y’all have removed in the last, I don’t know, 15 days. I’d be very curious to hear those numbers. 
It is a "free speech" platform insomuch as it is intentionally making space for people with fundamentally conflicting beliefs.
There is no c/conservative on Beehaw, and many of us would not be here if there was. Extremism is not the only thing that is incompatible with my beliefs, and I get enough daily exposure to Neoliberal and Conservative viewpoints that I don't want to deal with it when I'm relaxing. It's why I haven't had Facebook or Twitter in years.
Lemmy.world and Beehaw just have different goals.
