Is nice to know lemmy’s history but the problem is:
who defines what is bigotry and what is not?
when a post si too comunist/libertarian/left/right… to be alowed?
The best of federates soclal network for me is that you can be in touch with you want to and be far away from those you don’t want, but without the need to ask for your opposing group to be silenced, that just make the convivence online more pleasing
That is why I love the fediverse in general! But when nutomic talks about the ex redditors from r/GenderCritical says
“Many reddit alternatives have been happy to embrace “reddits rejects”, no matter how bigoted those communities are, in the name of “free speech”. We don’t agree with this view, or with those who have nostalgia for a non-existent reddit past where it was more “free” and bigoted than it is now.”
Is he talking about the instance in particular or refearing to lemmy in general? Maybe I misunderstood that
So, you mean that don’t “gladly recieve” that kind of user but you don’t ban them from using lemmy from their own instance, and even of you wantted to, you can’t.
That sound really healthy in a broad sense , I mean for everyone even of it sound counterintuitive. For a moment I thought you can ban people from using Lemmy in general (not only from using your instance).
I think that FOSS in general has a good chance in the long run, and non-algoritmic feeds probably will help so low down the polarization or at least won’t make ot wors (I hope).
