      It’s nothing extraordinary but it’s certainly an easier read than Industrial Society and Its Future.

      It’s treading new ground, assassinations of non-politician US citizens usually aren’t this popular so it contradicts many assumptions made when deciding rules. A site like reddit has to please its advertisers and investors, so they will ultimately side with the rich owning class, but may not want to risk banning huge parts of their userbase.

      Not true. lemmy.ml only has dumbass word filter so you can’t say “b!tch” or “r3tard.” but there isn’t any content filter about Luigi’s manifesto, or deny, defend, depose. Or declaring that you are happy Brian Thompson was killed, or that Trump was almost assassinated. Additionally CEOs addresses, wishes and suggestions that healthcare companies should have their entire corporate structure culled, won’t be removed.

      You can also discuss Tienanmen Square, or all of the weird key CIA internet keywords that emerged int he 90’s.

    Does anyone know which Lemmy instances are censored?

      censored

      A very vague term on its own. Censoring what? The communist instances (e.g. lemmygrad) will ban racism and xenophobia to an extent that many people don’t even understand how what they said was interpreted as xenophobic, but will let you post “I want to torture every billionaire in the world” and post footage of the assassination with no problem, while liberalist instances who allow more general liberty are often more scared to host endorsement of violence (e.g. lemmy.world).

      All completely “free speech” platforms inevitably become safe havens for people unable to hold conversations (as in, medically delusional), ad spam, neo-Nazis, and child abusers who get kicked from every other forum. So you really need to be more specific when talking about what you consider censorship and what you consider common sense.

        I was asking in general, thank you for the extensive answer.

        No, that was controversial and was made optional before most active instances were made (post API scandal)

        Edit: assuming you mean the word filter, not moderation as a whole.

        For example: removing anything related to Mangione’s manifesto or “glorifying violence”.

          lemmy.world has some very power-hungry and boot-throating mods, especially when it comes to this.

          Ah. I don’t have a list but I know that lemmy.world does its very best to emulate the worst parts of Reddit, including this.
