Massive fan of feddit.uk and Lemm.ee, moderation has been great, feddit.uk the admin have shown a willingness and urgency in helping user. My personal experience; helping with resetting a backend issue effecting my account and looking into bot'ed down voting when I DM'd them.
Lemm.ee is just good with their federation philosophy which can be found on the sidebar.
Lemm.ee is nice. No complaints.
Agreed. I appreciate the well-thought and out level headed approach lemm.ee has taken.
Actually, for a moment I was annoyed they wouldn’t defederate with a certain offensive instance. But, now, looking back on it, I think they made the right decision. I appreciate that defederation is an extreme tool that shouldn’t be used lightly.
I have no problems with lemm.ee. Mastodon on the other hand...
I got booted from my first instance for going against prevailing opinion even though I was perfectly polite about it.
I'm happy with my instance, no complaints!
Is it because you are free to talk strange? Or is it because you don't talk strange?
I don't generally say hateful things, so no risk of being censored for that, and I like that my instance doesn't censor anything that could possibly be considered a slur the way .ml does.
I was originally on .ml and I remember seeing a comment that had a legitimate use of a word that could be considered a slur in another context. I don't remember the exact scenario, but it was something equivalent to saying "response time retardation" in relation to drunk driving. And "retardation" was censored, which created unnecessary confusion. I'd been thinking of switching instances anyway, and that silly little example is what pushed me over the edge. I guess I'd rather not be cushioned from every word that might be hurtful, especially when doing so can cause confusion.
No hate or disrespect to .ml, by the way - I'm very grateful to Dessalines and crew for creating lemmy and Jerboa, and I respect their right to administer their instance the way they see fit. To me that's the neat thing about the fediverse - it allows for a "different strokes for different folks" approach. :)
Yeah the exact thing you described happened here as well, it's a tiny bit annoying although not enough for me to switch instances over
Delighted. Constructive or helpful disagreements are encouraged, and the mods ensure that I hardly ever encounter a bigot.
I haven't knowingly encountered any
I’m satisfied, I haven’t seen or noticed any censorship.
Instance level censorship isn't much for the user to worry about (I run my own, so it's zero problem for me). Most censorship happens at the group level by group owners, and the admins on the instance the group is hosted.
I still don't have a problem with it though. You subscribe to a group on a certain instance, you cannot be too surprised if you get censored there.
It is precisely what I want.
Mostly I haven't had issues with it, I was banned from an egg_irl community on one instance, I forget which, for not espousing violence though.
My instance doesn’t seem to have any censorship as far as I can tell, but despite what terminally online people would expect, it’s not overrun by Nazis.
Ditto. SDF feels very nerdy and comfortable.
I run my instance so I am perfectly happy with the level of censorship.
Said instance is narrowly focused on free software and free culture issues, so unrelated politics would be off-topic. That said there is a fairly bog standard code of conduct prohibiting bigotry, nazism and the like.
It works. One day I even tried to piss a mod off and he told me I could leave, and he didn't care if I did.
So I said,... "based, I'm staying."
No one on sh.itjust.works has ever thrown a hissy fit over any of my arguments or stopped me from scorched-earthing a conservative, so they're a-ok by me!
It's not bad at all so far.
Doesn't impact me so fine with it.
