We are not the same.

I almost exclusively browse /all, but I'm up to 897 blocked communities (sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and sports and porn and...).
It takes some doing, but you can whittle /all down to something personalized and enjoyable to browse.
Is there really that much sports on Lemmy? For the longest time it seemed completely barren. Even now Soccer is just having stable but very minor activity. Formula 1 is fairly active though I guess.
And that just sounds like too much work. Much easier to see what you want to see on /subscribed and then put the phone away.

ml says “avoid criticizing Russia, china, North Korea, communism, communist figures, or cursing at our special little gremlins who will spew vileness at you entirely unprompted. But also don’t be a dick or deny atrocities, unless doing so interferes with any of the previously stated rules.”
If only! To be pedantic though, what Lemmy.ml actually says is:
A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers
and
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Which (somehow?
️🤪) translates to what you said, except... no wait, it does not? Hence it says one thing (my quotes) while doing exactly the opposite (your quotes), in point of fact.On the other hand, there's the "trust me bro, i iz total1y relaibles" defense, otherwise known as "nuh-uh, I know you are but what am I?"
Because while it is human nature to be wrong sometimes, it might be best not to actively wallow in it? (See also: Hexbear, Lemmygrad.ml, and some smaller ones such as midwest.social)
Well I got an instant no-warning permaban from lemmy.ml
I think it was for a post in which I basically said there won't be peace in the Middle East until there's a lot less religion in the area.
I dunno, you never know who has an easily offended Sky Daddy LOL

Every sports team under the sun has its own community; and redundant communities in multiple instances. No idea if those communities are active, or if they're just made, spam /all for a couple days, then fizzle into the void, but I block em every time I see em.
Same with the furry porn instances having a different community for every breed of dog, or anime porn instances having a different community for... reasons? Idk there's no way anime porn is actually that varied, but there are an absolute shitload of them on my block list.
Anyway, yeah it's a lot of work all together, but it's nothing in the scope of a single setting - every time I whip the phone out and browse for a few mins, if I see another one I don't like, I just take the few seconds to block it. Rinse and repeat every time, and it adds up.

What is the 3rd option here?

I'm not in this picture.
Well why are you here
-
The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.
I dont care. If you got banned from reddit youre doing the world a great service.

I was born. It wasn't my choice.

What's the point in dividing us?

You got banned for talking about the government?
Edit: oh i see, you got banned because you're a homophobe and a bigot and an asshole.
That's not censorship. That's just people not putting up with your dumbass.You seem to misunderstand what censorship is.
-
You don't even have 100 comments my guy. And you're getting banned from multiple places? Lmao
What are you talking about? I have over 1,800 comments.

You are free to host an instance with any rules you like, also lemmy is generally ok with Luigi posting
They said all that about a bunch of alternative media that was banned from all money processing. Oh, you can't use the banks. Why don't you just make your own? While I don't agree with most of the things those kind of people said, I also do not agree with completely banning their speech. All that does is push them into the shadows and that's how Donald Trump gets elected.

Thanks. And yep. This started as a fun project 2 years ago and it turned into a nightmare. Best thing I can do is leave.
Thanks for being one of the sane ones lol.
You abandoning lemmy completely or just the instance? If the former, will you be going back to reddit or avoiding this format completely?

Lemmy and the fediverse entirely. I guess you could also say social media entirely as this was my last vestige of it.
Planning to re-join the real world and put my energy into actual positive things.

That's always admirable. Social media can be very toxic. hopefully you'll be able to stay away for good, but so much is run via social media atm that it's hard to completely disconnect.

Censorship is when you're silenced by the government.
What's your definition?
People refusing to entertain an asshole is not censorship.

It has never been just the government that's only in regards to the first amendment.
