MODERATORS
This is the one saving grace of Lemmy that saves it from just being a more overcomplicated reddit. I've probably caught the most bans on the entire federation because I don't mince words and being openly left-of-hitler makes me a threat to people who don't want to admit they're fascists. All of that and I get to continue posting because the gaps are filled by more reasonable comms and instances who don't do that.
For the first time on the internet I feel like I can just be myself and not get punished for it. I don't have to pretend to be someone i'm not. It does have a bit of a cultural rot problem (don't bring up pedophilia, Ukraine or veganism if you value your sanity) but I don't see that as being a permanent thing, more a consequence of people coming in from reddit. Once the federation matures a bit that sorta thing should dip down.
