Is Lemmy also censored by the government? Or can I just openly discuss anything against the government here? (suppo.fi)

I wanna add to this that censoring is a bit more relaxed. Every post lies on an instance, and control is given to hosts of an instance. So to censor, an actor has to gain control of the instance or the account that made the post.

That said, if you are in the confines of political oppression, as the commenter above me said, never take your anonymity for granted and take active steps to stay safe.
