How do you feel about the level of censorship in your current instance ? (lemmy.ml)

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.

From what I’ve read, in our instance, it’s being critical of China that gets you banned.

But I don’t know how much of that is people being straight-up racist/xenophobic and then conflating it with being critical.

Why don't you try saying something critical of China but not racist, and see if it gets removed?

Me? Sure.

The Tianamen Square Massacre was shameful.

And look at that, it didn't get removed

The brave Tianamen Square posters here envision themselves as their mythological ideal of Tank Man, which they invented without so much as even watching the video of the guy and the tank.
