I am looking to change my instance since many defederation and censorship decisions on lemmy.world.
Anyone knows of any instance that has a rule against defederation and is more free speech oriented. Of course I am looking for an instance that forbids illegal content like CP. But I want an instance that does not censor hate speech!
The instance should be hopefully federated with mostly everyone, unless defederated because of CP. I was considering lemm.ee, but I saw a comment from an admin saying that they could consider defederation if certain propaganda reaches front page.
Before anyone accuses me of anything, I just want to be exposed to different viewpoints, and I am not offended so easily, so I can tolerate offensive content. What is important is that the rules on defederation dont change in the future.
Hey everyone, before you start dogpiling this person, take a step back and understand we’re all one family.
When I first joined Lemmy, I joined Beehaw. I can’t speak for all of the admins, but Lionir is one of the kindest most helpful people I’ve had the pleasure to meet. That said, between them not allowing community creation and defederating with the instance my football communities are on, I realised I had to find another home. If I was asked to articulate that at the time, I would’ve had no chance.
Our friend here is simply asking for an opportunity to commune with people beyond that of which his current admins enjoy. We don’t know what it is. I can’t speak for all of the people that were banned from anywhere. I know that I’ve met wonderful people from all servers. Yes even the terrible ones. Don’t judge people by their instance. Unless they’re admins and their instance is full of Nazis. Then please judge them.
I don’t understand why you would take someone wanting to branch out and find their wings as a personal insult or threat.
Please just remember that we’re a team. We make this place good by interacting civilly with one another.
Also if you are familiar with Rust or PostgreSQL, please take a look at the Lemmy Github and see if you’re capable of contributing towards getting account migration sorted.
Exactly, I am not necessarily planning on participating in these communities, I am just trying to be open minded and see what is posted there, who knows maybe there is something interesting.
Thing is, if you actually want to hear a diverse range of opinions, it’s in your best interest to listen in places that remove hate-speech.
Because spaces that allow hate speech are at best unpleasant, and at worst actively unsafe, for the people who that hate-speech is aimed at. So those people, those large and diverse groups of people, will not speak freely in those spaces. They will leave those spaces. And so you will not hear their perspectives.
And basically all hate-speech is same idea. It is a rephrasing of one, single thought: “Those others, who are different to us, are inferior, and a threat to our way of life.”
There is no such thing as a space where all ideas can co-exist, you must choose: Either you can hear the voices of a diverse group of people with varied life-experiences. Or you can hear the voices of an increasingly narrow segment of the population who are supportive of bigotry against those diverse people.
