Discussion about lemmy.ml (lemmy.pineapplemachine.com)

There's discussion on pineapplemachine's instance about the questionable moderating practices on Lemmy.ml

I joined sopuli especifically due to not wanting to associate with that kind of practices as I really believe there should be a minimum freedom to criticise any government's actions. Is my belief compatible with this instance or should I think about self hosting?

So far I'm liking it here a lot.

Yes, your belief is definitely compatible! What bugs me about lemmy.ml is that the moderation practices are not always clear, and the admins' political leanings show. Unlike Beehaw, I haven't had a manifesto or a grand vision of Sopuli. There are however principles for moderation that have formed: the scientific method and people behaving like in a furnished space. We are not free speech absolutists either, because Voat and currently Twitter have embodied where that leads.

thanks for providing Sopuli!
matches my beliefs perfectly. Very happy, that I can be here :⁠-⁠)

Amazing because I think as well that we shouldn't be tolerant of intolerance like Voat and Twitter are now. Thank you for your response.
