Lemmy is comprised of many instances, many domains, all of which have their own agenda. Some are right-leaning like .ml and .world and the moderators practice similar censorship to Reddit (including but not limited to progressive, controversial, anti-establishment or anything against their personal values), some are extreme hate incel groups that only talk about killing or doxxing people and are unmoderated maybe, some have moderators who endeavour to uphold the ideal of true freedom of speech and refuse to censor anybody, and some (Looking at you, Blåhaj) are left-leaning, have mods that allow everything except hate speech, and aim to protect the queer community from cruelty at all costs.
So the answer is “anything your heart desires”. The repercussion or censorship of your contribution depends on the policies of the instance you account with and the instances whose communities you interact with.
No real commentary on what you said, but excuse my recovering-Redditor-pedantry. In my experience/opinion .ml is EXTREMELY far left (to the point of almost horseshoeing back to being far right) but in reality they’re simply just far left and EXTREMELY authoritarian. So Auth-Left if you’re looking at the political compass (not a perfect compass or representation of the political ecosystem but I’ve not seen one that’s better).
No worries, you’re welcome to correct me if I got the wrong impression of the instance. I’ve considered myself leftist ever since I was politically radicalised (working on decreasing it) and I kind of agree that some far left are as crazy as far right. I don’t even like talking about political preference in such a bipolar context, life is a scattergraph, but it’s sometimes useful.
Some are right-leaning like .ml
lol.
right-leaning like .ml and .world
If you didn’t know “.ml” in Lemmy instances stands for “marxist-leninist”. So ml ones are far left, and “lemmy.world” in particular is left-leaning.
I don’t know if “far left” is the way to describe them.
They have more in common with flat earthers than the left.
And it’s absolutely infested with right wing trolls pretending to be leftists trying to convince people not to vote.
Then why do they adore China and Russia?
They carved out a path of stupidity that legitimately makes no sense, but they don’t allow any dissent so there’s no way for people to change course.
“They carved out a path of stupidity…”
Beautifully put. Great phrase.
right-leaning like … .world
?
Welcome to Lemmy, lol.
Did you not get your Molotov at the door?
Also I would say .ml is extreme left, in several ways.
They went so much to the left they came through the other side. I mean they adore China and Russia.
.ml almost Magellaned the political spectrum.
This also seems accurate
I wouldn’t say they are extreme left. They are just extremely disturbed.
I’m so glad to see other’s possess this opinion. The mental gymnastics they do to try to justify their insane positions and rhetoric dumbfounds me. Made the mistake of making my first account on that instance and was getting downvoted left and right for pushing back on Pro-“USSR” (they don’t even bother calling it Russia) and Pro-“DPRK” or “Korean” (because they act like North Korea is not a separate state run by dictator at the suffering of their people) content.
I thought I was taking crazy pills until another kind user said I’m not crazy, just in the wrong instance lol. Life-saver.
Just as with a computer, you need to setup a “firewall” for your brain lol.
I once read about some crazy conspiracy theory (or maybe it was some youtube video, dont remember) about how they said they have secret info about “the elites” were about to drop a nuke/emp on NYC as a sort of weapons test, I was like idk 15 years old maybe, I almost believed it for a second, but then nothing happened when the time came, of course. Crazy doomsday predictors be everywhere, I quickily learned that the internet is not a trustworthy place, can’t be believing everything.
Trust your own internal logics in your brain first, then the list goes like:
- What you directly witness
- First-Hand eyewitness testimony by someone you’ve known IRL
- Second-hand story told by someone you’ve known IRL
- Random Strangers
- Acredited Mainstream Sources (including FM, TV, Newspaper, etc…) Official Reports
- The general internet
(adjust according to how much you trust each specific source, don’t trust assholes/dictators, for example)
Fully agree, especially with your list. Tragically that frequently leads to nuanced opinions, and those can cause social friction since it appears strict conformity to one of two “sides” is required to participate in (at least online) society.
Same with .world
Maybe 5% as much
It’s more of a conspiracy community, like flat Earth. They’re fans of right-leaning policies depending on if their favourite nations are the ones doing them. The communist stuff is just for decoration.
It’s the biggest. You’ll get some of that, but not the norm
.world being considered right leaning is wild to me.
Blahaj bans people under false pretenses. They are not subtle about it.
Your description of them is laughably wrong. Using protecting vulnerable people as an excuse to shut down people that disagree with you or your pals in a way that does not violate any rules is not protecting vulnerable people in fact it could be making them less protected all around.
Please change the titel of your post.
Charlie Kirk was in the closet
I said that trump fucks kids in the fed news subreddit, and got banned for inciting and promoting child porn.
yeah they’re all up in that mod team. I reckon there’s at least one in every sub that needs multiple.
Literally anything, logical or not.
Reddit bans you even if you make a blank comment lol.
Bash the fash
Fuck Spez
I’ll always say fuuuuuck Spez with my wholllle chest. He’s such a little cretin.
Anything you can get shadow banned for on reddit … Such a making a comment on one sub and getting banned on a different 12 because of some mod with power issues. It’s not happened to me here yet. Also fuck spez and I deleted my reddit account of 14 years so I can’t say anything on reddit.
I got banned from 3 communities I’d never so much as interacted with on here after JordanLund abused his mod power.
Anything. You say anything against Trump they ban you.
“Fuck Reddit” "Fuck russia ! " “Fuck Donny 2 Dolls !” “Donny 2 Inches is a russian agent…” …

It is hard to say because there was a time when Lemmy users even got penalized for celebrating what Luigi did.
And it was a very dumb period. Because I don’t see how “I’m glad that piece of shit CEO got what was coming to him” somehow constituted glorifying violence.
It’s such a stupid stance to have and still is, because it is just people grasping for straws as to who is the most moralistic. Come on now, even they behind their keyboards probably celebrated it too.

Under 30 day account not say ragebait shit challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
God I wish you would get banned for that 😆
*not favorable to Reddit agenda (or the mods taste)
Just curious (and I’ll probably regret asking): what is the “trans agenda”?
All I see is people who just want to have a right to exist, so I guess that could be an agenda?
I am a proponent for someone to really express what they want to say even if some people think it is politically incorrect to say so. While advocating against the rights of transgenders will always be a wrong stance to take and a wrong belief to believe in because they do deserve their rights.
But I do think going all-out to protect them from opinions they may not like is an overreaching form of censorship and I have seen that practiced on Reddit way too many times up until my final real banning on there. (Meaning, the last time I ever got to interact on Reddit that isn’t shot down to shadow-banning like it is now today, for me)
I think you should have opinions on them shy from outright calling violence to them or saying they don’t deserve a right to live. For example, I truly believe that Transgenders have too much of a stranglehold of the spotlight that it has threatened even the fabric of unity of the LGBTQIA+. I’m not kidding, they have just been hogging the attention for years and it almost feels like the community is strictly just them and no one else, coming from someone who is non-binary and bisexual.
And this has caused some level of unease in said community where it feels like we have to pledge some separate level of devotion to transgenders or we’re seen as bigoted, despite the fact that simply just pledging support and upholding values and identifying with the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole simply isn’t enough which I think it SHOULD be enough.
So it seems like everywhere, especially Reddit, you will be shredded down in seconds if you have a single thing to say against transgenders, even if that opinion doesn’t call for the mass execution of them and I think it is outright ridiculous. It is one thing for a Transgender instance or community to bar any opinions against them because it is their rules, than it is for everywhere else barring it just because and I feel it is a cheap way to gain favor with them.
