There’s discussion on pineapplemachine’s instance about the questionable moderating practices on Lemmy.ml

I joined sopuli especifically due to not wanting to associate with that kind of practices as I really believe there should be a minimum freedom to criticise any government’s actions. Is my belief compatible with this instance or should I think about self hosting?

So far I’m liking it here a lot.

    To provide context the devs have stated openly the lemmy.ml instance is not a flagship instance and is specifically a leftist foss community (Also why it isn’t in the recommended instances in the join-lemmy site. )

    It’s fortunate that you can see how things work then move to another instance but still sub back to the lemmy.ml communities you like, if lemmy main isn’t your bag.

      And to add, the developers themselves expressed interest in providing hosting temporarily for a mainstream or liberal instance.
