Being an old grandpa not that adept at tech, I don’t know how Lemmy works. I mean, I know it’s decentralized and it’s supposed to be better than reddit, but still, how vulnerable is this platform from censors looking to block anything in here?

Are we invincible like those thepiratebay.org instances which jump up the more you try to censor them or are we basically like reddit. In other words, can I reliably access lemmy in China?

    As long as an instance that is federated with the instances you want is not blocked, you can access it.

    If they want to block all instances, there’s no reason they can’t.

      lemmy instances can be published through the onion network too

      can’t block those unless they block the tor network, but then you have bigger problems.

        Is there anything that can’t be accessed through tor? Excluding sites that require some kind of vpn access or somehting.
