@Senokir @Solaris1789 I hope they don't ban you
If this community doesn't welcome people who actively fight against misinformation then I am more than happy to be banned.
@Senokir In general they are, at the very least, hostile to folks who do so. It's a main reason I use #Lotide (via narwhal.city) rather than #Lemmy (although there are newer #Lemmy instances out there now that I'm considering joining eventually)
It is my understanding that that has been the case for a long time, yes. But I also hope that with the large influx of new users that we will overshadow any bad actors attempting to spread misinformation.
@Senokir @realcaseyrollins Yeah we should nuke Beijing.
Don't bother posting if you have nothing interesting to contribute.
?
Did anyone here suggest that we do such a thing?
@Mark @Senokir Heck no
If this was reddit i'd be concerned but there isnt any censorship here i know of
@Solaris1789 Didn't the #Lemmy software literally use to have a hardcoded blocklist of words it wouldn't let you use?
By words you mean slurs?
@raresbears Yeah, although there were some other words that were banned as well IIRC
