We are not the same.

The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
'Censorship is when I'm not allowed to use the R-word.'
Just open a text file if you want to write whatever you want without dispute, the right to say what you want isn't the same as the right to be heard.
Sounds like censorship to me. I'm from the old internet where if you didn't like what somebody had to say you ignored them. Current internet is far too soft and full of safe spaces which will ban anybody for the slightest offenses.
You are free to host an instance with any rules you like, also lemmy is generally ok with Luigi posting
They said all that about a bunch of alternative media that was banned from all money processing. Oh, you can't use the banks. Why don't you just make your own? While I don't agree with most of the things those kind of people said, I also do not agree with completely banning their speech. All that does is push them into the shadows and that's how Donald Trump gets elected.
yes, the current internet is full of safe spaces. as it should be. people deserve to feel safe.
you've basically gone into someone elses house and criticised them for not allowing you to track mud all over their floor.
Individual communities, sure, but not entire massive general instances. That's beyond stupid.
Instances are groups of like minded communities. To extend the earlier metaphor it'd be like going to a town that doesn't allow cars and you decide to ride your motorcycle down the sidewalks blasting all the houses with noize they don't want to hear.
they are individual communities. that's what federation is for.
It doesn't work so well when the majority of people are concentrated in one or another. It's like going into a Reddit admins pet project sub and then getting banned completely on Reddit because you broke that sub's rules.
You don't even have 100 comments my guy. And you're getting banned from multiple places? Lmao
What are you talking about? I have over 1,800 comments.
Well it's fucking wrong. An issue in federation I suppose.

So you're mad cuz it's not showing how much of an even bigger bigot, homophobe, and ass that you really are?
No. Just correcting you. I've been here all along. I don't give a shit.
"i didn't give a shit" he says while crying about not being wanted.
I don't care if I'm wanted or not. I care if a large portion of the fediverse sees fit to censor opinions based on their feelings. Fine if you're moderator on a community based around something that doesn't fit your views but it shouldn't work the same for the entire instance. And it's only really an issue because lemmy.world It's like 90% of the fediverse. If it worked like it was originally designed, there wouldn't be massive controlling interests like Lemmy.world.
Sounds like privilege to me. For instance I think blahaj is entirely correct to aggressively enforce a space where people aren't allowed to argue their userbase shouldn't be allowed to exist.
And yet I'm not banned from there. Only massive general instances.
