Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.

How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?

I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.

And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.

So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.

How will I ever decide whether or not to make this tradeoff?????

Oh no, not the tyranny of the regular expression filtering of a few bigoted words! This is fascism!

Bitch isn’t a bigoted word lawl

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's misogynistic, pretty clear cut bigotry.

Not if you’re calling something cool “bitchin’”!

I only see removed but this comment makes me think of female dogs

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 33 minutes ago

Yerp, that’s exactly correct hahaha

Other instances don’t remove words

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The root word is baked in misogyny, that doesn't change that dynamic.
