Pure curiosity:
If you left reddit or another corporate platform under the banner of not being censored by their views or beliefs, what was that?
Wait. Before we open this can of worms, I’m not at all curious about an in-depth explanation of unpopular views or opinions that are generally extremist or that most reasonable people consider extreme. More of:
- I left reddit or some other because they censor…?
- The lemmy community is more for me because?
- I reasons my instance policies or moderators are better than the other platform is?
- The other platform restricted opinions or views regarding…?
If you feel like sharing, just summarize the general idea, please no indoctrination speeches.
Oh boy…
Sorry that it hasn’t lived up to your expectations.
I don’t believe that the federation model “fixes” tribalism and in fact encourages it in an echo-chamber kind of fashion, by clustering like minded individuals in communities in its own servers with their own moderators.
On the other hand, in my experience this place overall feels a little more mature. Sure you have circlejerk threads and there’s a lot of controversial news that in a couple cases have evolved into online flamewars. I’ve also observed more often where two people disagreeing initially come to a mutual understanding and agreement downthread, that hardly ever happens in online forums.
