Reddit is taking down posts linking to the manifesto of the suspected shooter of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a move that has angered many users.
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.
Does anyone know which Lemmy instances are censored?

I was asking in general, thank you for the extensive answer.
What do you mean by censored?
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.
Lemmy.ml, that may be it.
Edit: I meant as in a word filter.
Are there any that aren’t? Thought it was cooked in.
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.
