The automated censorship that keeps out CSAM and blatant trolling and scams? I love it.
The moderation that's done over the whole instance. That's understandable as it's a large attack surface for regulatory or state actor interference.
The community mods, that depends on the /c and honestly it's the same as it's ever been. It's wildly variable from person to person.
I'm on my own instance, so i dont have anything to complain.
I've been thinking about switching over to lemmy.today as it's not currently defederated with anyone, so I can decide who to block and keep for myself. It's based in Oregon, and I like the idea of joining an instance close to me. I do worry about Lemmy.world being so overly dominate in the federated-lemmy-space.
But many of the communities that I participate in are lemmy.world, and it's nice that they send me an automated notice whenever a post/comment of mine is removed. I've already subscribed to many communities and would have to do that all over again. and I haven't thought of a creative new username.
You can use the same username since they're unique per instance. I had the same one on Lemmy.world
Most of us never say anything interesting enough to censor.
Most of the censoring is mob dogpiling.
But ya, I hate it.
And even if you don't get censored, look at who you're talking to. You're trying to reach the 1 smart person in 1000.
What we need is the 1990s internet. A collection of niche communities. And the 99% stays way over there in facebookland or whatever they had back then.
Removed by mod
I'm not a huge fan of the pro-China stuff in lieu of the pro-US stuff on other servers, but its mostly chill
I don't feel I'm missing out on anything important. I don't want my instance to engage in any form of ideological censorship (in any direction at all unless required by law) and don't feel they are doing that. But I'm glad this thread exists because it tells me about other instances I could try if I ever became dissatisfied with mine.
I'm completely unaware of it and DGAF.
Sh.itjust.works has been brilliant, tbh.
High uptime, reasonable admins.
Very happy with it
I am the only (AFAIK) Italian instance and pretty happy. No censorship.
I don't know how people from Lemmy.world stand it, honestly.
If there is any I have not noticed it.
My instance is great.
If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.
In that case check the modlog and if it's unreasonable why not try out another instance?
