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.

    I’m not an admin, so I can’t stop you from doing that. I’m not sure why you’re asking for my permission.

      I’m pointing out your hypocrisy.

      you’re saying it’s ok that some unpopular opinions are silenced because the greater good demands it, but who dictates the greater good? is it you? is it me? no, it’s the mods.

      at which point do the communities that you or I build stop becoming our communities and become the mods curated community?

      IMO we don’t need mods because social moderation is a real mechanic that should be employed on a platform.
