Hmm. Well, that's too bad, but I could see why racist posts would make them upset.
Splattering racism everywhere is akin to being antagonistic. Free speech is good, but don't be shocked if people block instances with racist spam.
It's 100% marketing, which is what this thread is about, no? Lemmy.ml's moderation practices are bad marketing for the project as a whole.
No, it's proof that a community affiliated with the larger project can affect the project's reputation, while a community unaffiliated with the larger project typically does not do so.
The problem is that lemmy.ml is the flagship instance.
It'd be different than saying, for example, r/TheDonald gave Reddit a reputation of being right wing. r/TheDonald clearly had no affiliation with Reddit writ large, while lemmy.ml is the flagship instance of the entire Lemmy project.
The problem is just that the lemmygrad and lemmy.ml admins and mods are giving Lemmy as a whole a bad name. The same thing has happened to Mastodon.
Because burggit is pro pedophilia
Beehaw seems like a fun community but their admin likes censorship and their instance doesn't support free speech. I'm hoping we can build something comparable to @Technology@beehaw.org on the free side on Lemmy.
Lemmings sounds perfect to me!
Because Android is technically open source and the hardware is free enough that I can install an alternative OS if I want to.
Also, the phones are cheaper and have headphone jacks!
I could see why they wouldn't want to play whack-a-mole tho, if they were concerned other users would post similar content
