      Haven’t heard complaints about lemm.ee. And the stated goals and open financials seems pretty promising.

      That said, I wouldn’t know it if people are routinely censored.

        Main site has following rules:

        • No abusive language

        • No bigotry

        • No advertising

        • No pornography

        Obviously last 2 aren’t relevant here. First two, strictly as written, I wouldn’t have issues with but I have seen sooo many leftists sites use the same language to basically virtue signal that they don’t like conservatives, conservative ideas, or speaking out in any way against minorities.

        Like I can understand not wanting slurs or personal attacks. But not being able to voice the opinion that affirmative-action hurts minorities or that gender-affirming care harms the patient as well as society without being called a bigot seems practically impossible on reddit or 99.999% of Lemmy instances.

        Could be these guys interpret those rules literally like I do or could be they interpret things through a Critical Race Theory / leftist lens. I have no clue but I usually put it in reverse when I see this cuz it’s so often the leftist interpretation.
