Is Lemmy a communist site?
Is Lemmy a communist site?
Edit - I said "site" because I didn't know how to even describe whatever this is

Yes in the sense that mostly the communists inhabit it. No in the sense that, because it is decentralised, no one can force you do to a particular thing if you host your own instance

So in that way if I get banned from one instance then I can make a new account in some instance too?
I'm new here so I don't know much about these

Yes. You can always create a new account on a different instance.

Think of federated services (namely lemmy) like a phone carrier. There’s a bunch of them, and you can call numbers on other networks easily, as they speak a common protocol. You (or your carrier) can always block either individual numbers, or entire carries. The thing here is, being a carrier (an instance) of lemmy is somewhat easy to do, and you can always switch carriers based on their moderation policies.
Hope this is a decent explanation.

That's a good explanation.. Thanks for that

Also, tip, pretty sure that in the default web interface there is a toggle to deactivate bot posts. These bots are often just reposting what is on Reddit to try to stuff lemmy with content, but I tend to leave them deactivated. Also, never forget that the best thing after staying in a pit like this, is to touch a bit of grass ;P
