I’m not a big fan of moderation being at the whims of whoever has an agenda.

Are there lemmy instances that take moderation seriously and don’t just ban/censor people they disagree with? So far it looks like the mods in lemmy.world instances are very flippant with their moderation and I’m curious if anyone has filled the void yet for a better instance.

Edit: Thanks for everyone who tried to give a legitimate response. No thanks to those who just wanted to spout their talking points or debate the merits of freedom of speech; that was never the point of this thread.

    What power? This is federation. If you get censored on one board, find a version of that board that is happy to have that particular conversation.

    I’m fine with semi-arbitrary censorship to keep a community a nice place to visit for everyone. If my opinion gets censored on something, it’s a sign I’m among the wrong people to have that discussion.

    I understand the bubble argument, but I don’t come to Lemmy to be “educated” by random assholes that just like to argue. I have lots of sources of alternate views, I’m not being helped by hearing RandomAssholeX’s hot takes.
