How dare you trying to help the people. How dare you promoting a plattform:
without adds
~~with free speech~~ (without centralized censorship)
that is decentralized
that is open source
without a company behind it
with all the same features
run by the people who use it
- You can replace "with free speech" with "without centralized censorship"
- free speech how? I thought there were some limitations on legality since a lot of servers are from different countries and don't have the same laws
- Free speech that the mods agree with that is. I was perma banned for c/Europe for privately objecting when a moderator removed this image I posted in a reply decrying antisemitic conspiracy theories in their forum. The mods left the libelous post up, and deleted my sarcastic, but otherwise civil response.
  Maybe my opinion was wrong, but it certainly wasn't dangerous, hateful, threatening or intentionally misleading, as the original post was. Lemmy has a lot going for it, but let's not pretend that free speech on this site is anything other than window dressing. The Mods are still judge, jury and executioner inside their fiefdoms.
  It just hasn't become a problem for the majority of users, because we're a relatively small, ideologically homogeneous community. If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, you'll start seeing that freedom of speech disappear as moderators sort out the dissenters, and authoritarians work their way into positions of authority.
  
  Impressive modlog for a 20 days account: https://feddit.nl/modlog?userId=18840134
  There is not only one Europe community. I guess you were banned from !europe@feddit.org , but there is !europe@lemmy.ml and !europe@sopuli.xyz where you can still post, or even create your own Europe community
  
  Yeah turns out speech here isn't so free when your opinions run counter to what the mods deem politically correct.
  Which is the whole point of freedom of speech.
  
  The second point addresses that
  
  Yeah I'm sure I'll have much better luck on the .ml instance 😅
  
  !europe@sopuli.xyz ?
  
  Has 100 members and only one person has ever posted there.
  
  Still better than if you were to start another community by yourself
  
  Ok buddy 😄
