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…
My personal experience so far is that the Lemmy community is significantly more responsive in getting rid of spam bots. I’ve definitely seen a few but they disappear in less than a day, and lately the amount of spam has been extremely minimal, almost nonexistent on my instance’s all page. Compare to Reddit, where spam bots might get banned from a few subs immediately but would often take weeks to get sitebanned, if ever.
Most serious Lemmy instances require user approval to join via the short application, which means they have no bots at all. And the big key is that lemmy admins are quite active and talk amongst themselves; if an instance with open no-approval signups gets abused by bots, other admins will talk to that instance about it, and most of the time it seems to get fixed pretty quick. And if they don’t… well, you defed them until they do. It’s pretty pog.
