Which major instances are know for having or not having censorship?
- Almost every instance will almost certainly filter illegal content in their respective jurisdictions, and those that don’t might not be around for long.
- There is a modlog. Just click on it, and you will see what gets removed.
This is where the transparency that comes with FOSS vs private corp really shines. You can always check an instance’s modlog to see for yourself where lines are drawn.
BeeHaw will supposedly censor what they deem to be “hate speech”
I’ve heard reports about lemmy.ml censoring criticism of the CCP. how true this is i don’t know. One of the devs apparently also runs Lemmygrad
Yeah I read that the main Dev of Lemmy is big supporter of communism.
So long as he keeps the lemmy updates coming i don’t care what he believes
Yeah I think the same.
Censorship of CCP criticism would be in the modlog if it were true. I’ve only been here a couple weeks but the only things I see the admins refuse to tolerate are racism, homophobia, and hate speech in general. They don’t allow porn but that has more to do with practical challenges than any (expressed) problem with other people wanting it.

lemmygrad blocks anything not deemed acceptable by the Supreme Soviet
Their modlog is ridiculous!

What is censorship for you? I mean do you want to have an instance that deletes nothing?
Yup
That sounds like a terrible place.
A place where no one is policing what people can say? Sign me up!
Censorship only applies to people you dont like saying things you dont like. Eventually it’ll be turned on you.
Makes me wonder what you want to say or read that gets censored.
