Moderation has gotten out of control on the internet, where people abuse their powers to perpetuate narratives they like while censoring ones they don’t.

Where can I find lemmy instances that support freedom of speech? It’s fine if you don’t like it or have issues with it (feel free to move on without a reply!)

Update: Thanks to the recommendation of @[email protected], I checked the blocked instances of lemmy.world and found https://welppp.com/

I just came across it, so it may not actually support freedom of speech, but it looks promising.

If anyone has alternatives, still feel free to share them 🙂

      Be respectful of others.

      I guess we just have “Jim Crow” rules where mods pick and choose who to enforce them for 🤷

      Another reason why I want an instance that doesn’t leave it up to the ‘whims’ of whoever is moderating to decide what gets to stay.

      You end up with places like this that blatantly allow personal insults as long as you’re insulting the “correct” people.

        I respect you. I hope you can pass it forward and at least try to respect others.

          Thank you. I was referring to the user I reported.

          He’s clearly breaking a rule, but I suspect the mods won’t care because he’s on “their side.”

            I’m not sure what language you seek to use, but generally speaking, people don’t like to be called offensive terms.

            I mean, if I want to identify as a [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] pregnant penguin, that’s my business. But it helps everyone’s morale to try to avoid bad words and offensive language.
