Yes, I know, opposing viewpoints are something small little minds like your own can’t possibly tolerate. Now run back to your safe space where everyone agrees with you and gives you constant validation!

Well, good to see the people who can’t possibly read opposing opinions to their own have made it here from reddit.

This isn’t a community where I feel it’s appropriate to get into those kind of topics. You’re welcome to PM me if you’re actually curious what I’m talking about.

But regardless, I was hoping Lemmy would be a good space for free thought. But it’s quickly turning out not to be that way.

Well the more worrying part is someone in another response said this was the lemmy.world mods banning those subs from appearing on lemmy.world.

Makes me wonder about lemmy honestly. They’re making it very difficult to find an instance that is 1) reliable, 2) open to free speech and thought. With instances randomly blocking others, blocking certain communities, etc…

I mean, am I going to have to spin up my own instance just to browse Lemmy without random censorship of other instances and communities?

Sure is looking that way already. I had such high hopes for Lemmy being a more open community…but that’s already quickly turning out to not be the case.

Wow. Honestly this makes me seriously contemplate my move to Lemmy. I thought lemmy.world was at least a free speech endorsing server. So now we have the two biggest Lemmy instances out there that are clearly against free speech. Lemmy.ml is moderated by pro CCP mods that remove anything anti-china, and lemmy.world can’t even tolerate a sub about conspiracy theories (which we should all know have a tendency of coming true the past few years) and is therefore already starting with stifling free speech.

Yeah, go start your own instance… Not everyone wants to run their own instance just to be able to browse communities on other instances that your current instance doesn’t agree with.

Yeah… This is really putting a sour taste in my mouth about Lemmy already.

So… from what I’m getting from that post… everyone likes to talk shit about reddit having a big ownership from a Chinese company that is exerting Chinese censorship on reddit… and now we’re (well, I’m registered at lemmy.world, but subscribe to a lot of communities on .ml) sitting here on an alternate site that… is ALSO exerting Chinese censorship! 😂
