yeah ive always been quiet on the reddit but lemmy feels a lot more open, like i wont get thwacked in the head with a rolled newspaper for asking questions lol
True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word “kill” in various context for example one I remember well: “The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!” And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like “The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!” to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.

Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.
Likely because it’s federated instances and each specialises in something.
