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
Because now regular people actually have a reason to leave.
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?
Shitjustworks just voted to delist exploding heads from their instance. Beehaw is not federated with two of the largest (lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works) because they are worried about bots.
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.
You are indeed resurrecting a 3 year old post haha!
Glad to see so many of you here now though!
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.
It’s suddenly relevant again lol
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.
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.
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.
Don’t conservatives have an entire subreddit all to themselves that no one else can post in?
As long as you’re not hateful in the way you show it, conservatism is not always inherently evil. Just sadly the further you go to the right the more hateful you become to the rest of the world.
Not all conservatives are bad. But the kind that spout MAGA and long for Boris’ return are usually in that camp.
I feel like most lemmy admins (at least on sh.itjust.works, from what I can tell) are quite lenient as long as what you office isn’t winning towards harming or hating on another group of people
(Just to clarify to others, I am not a conservative, I’m very left leaning socially with some authoritarian views on certain governmental issues. But I also understand that not all conservatives are our enemy, we talk about them always ending up in echo chambers and ending up being more radicalised by doing so. I also don’t want the left to start creating their own echo chambers by proxy. Debating is very productive in my opinion, you learn more about your own arguments and whether or not deep down if you still feel that way, while also seeing the point of view from the other side which in turn can often shed light on the real issue all of it stems from. Depending on the context of the debate obviously)
As long as you realize free speech means free from prosecution, not free from consequences.
Make your own echo chamber idiot 😎😎😎
