I think they would be more moderate if more moderate people would have opportunity to participate. Right now all of the non left instances or communities get too quickly defederated and deleted, so moderate people who would normally participate dont want to create na account on a completely defederated instance. The only thing you are left of there are some crazies.

The only way I heard of conservative communities here is from a post that is asking for defederation or deletion

You speak a different language. I dont follow these terms

I have no idea who are wokies. How exactly are admins standing for free speech when they are defederating, banning religious communities or anyone who disagrees with them.

You guys really just want people who think the same way as you on your instance. You should clearly state that instead of letting people waste their time here.

Yes this is a honest concern, I tend to agree that there should be more freedom here, and things like piracy should be allowed. As well as total free speech, none of that paradox of tolerance bullshit everyone is trying to push whenever they want to censor someone.

However, I think though we can all agree that child abuse and CP is not allowed.

Well maybe its unwanted by you, but it might be wanted by someone else.

I have no problem with anything having its space as long as its legal.

I never saw a NSFW post on lemmy actually, I have NSFW content hidden by default and it works great. Even though I am not interested in that content, I can respect that some people are.

This is also why I think banning communities because someone felt slightly offended is not the way to go. Lemmy already has a good way of moderating content per user, and you can ban communities and never see their content. I dont think instance admins should be removing anything other than illegal content.

Not the first time that person was looking around for reasons to be outraged and ban communities. I hope they decide to go isolated and defederate from all instances.

Illegal content should be removed in any case, but there is nothing illegal here.

Yes they did:

• GitHub suspends accounts of Russian developers linked to sanctioned firms
• GitHub confirms it has blocked developers in Iran, Syria and Crimea

Well not really, you would need an account in the organization in order to create issues, pull requests for a privately hosted instance. You can see the public repository but apart from cloning you cannot do anything else.

While Gitlab.com is centrally hosted, not much different than Github, you still cannot communicate with other Gitlab hosted servers.

Thanks. There is also a Gitlab issue requesting this feature, which I am tracking.

It needs to reach a polished state before organizations and university adapt it. So something like what you linked probably wont fly.

Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability. My organization hosts Gitlab instance but I would still rather host my open source project on Github instead, because its impossible to collaborate on Gitlab with external users who dont have an account on our instance.

Once there is a federation feature similar to Lemmy, I would be happy to host everything there.

Sadly USA was not charged for war crimes for using it in the past.

First of all, the USA is not the center of the world, the problems you guys have with mass shooting is not caused by the “hate speech”.

And again banning hate speech is just masking the deeper institutional/educational problems you have, not solving them.

Interesting, so like the USA is doing?

Including corporations, that’s why we are all on lemmy, is it not? 😉

Not every country has the same law, the fact that the law exists doesn’t mean its a good law.

Its forbidden to mention nazi Germany? I guess we should just forget about it and let it happen again, because it hurts your argument.

Can you open one of this websites?

The problem comes when you let the government decide what is “hate speech, racism, bigotry, fascism”. It gives government too much power to control the opposition by censorship.

If france wants to ban american propaganda, I am sure no american will shed a tear lol

I strongly disagree. If they didn’t care they wouldn’t be buying media companies abroad.

Everyone agree that’s the state has authority over foreign bad actor speach. We are discussing here state censoring their own citizen’s peach which is highly problematic esp in so called “democracies”

Not everyone agrees. Allowing a government to decide who is a bad actor and ban the media is bad, that’s how countries fall into dictatorships and create narrative for their citizens. Just look at nazi Germany.

USA is an openly imperialistic country also 😬 . Should we block all media from them?
