I'm hearing Lemmy itself, the .ml instance and some others are ran by Tankies that censor criticism of russia and china. What are your thoughts on this? (lemmy.world)

Don’t like it, don’t read it. The price of freedom is that it is freedom for everybody even for those you (or I) don’t think should be free.

But the point of censorship is: if THEY don't like it, YOU don't read it because you don't know it exists.

You can see what instances your server has blocked at {instance_url}/instances, there's also a link in the footer. If you're unhappy with your home instance blocking too much content, you can always make an account elsewhere and sub to the same communities as before. Account export is a feature that's currently requested on the Lemmy Github so maybe that process will become easier soon.
