Comment on THE FEDIVERSE IS TOO INFECTED WITH REDDITISM!!
zaugofficial@lemmings.world 18 hours agoI know. People are afraid to make them out of fear of defederation.
Eventually, we’re going to have to accept that there will be different parts of the fediverse for different people. And that’s okay.

So there’s clearly not enough of a local audience for it. I know many instances have specific political bias that preclude certain arguments fron being advanced to varying degrees (such as lemmy.ml, slrpnk.net, lemmy.dbzer0 etc) but there are also many general use instances amongst them, that are not defederated that really only ban people for hurling slurs and being abusive.

The modlogs should give some insight into how much demand there is for instances that won’t censor people.
The fediverse as a whole is still tiny, so it may seem that getting defederated from the established instances is a death knell, but it isn’t.

Well, maybe, but given how a massive chunk of the modlog here are just people having their posts removed for hurling abuse, making threats etc. How do you think those types clustering all together on a single ‘free speech’ instance would go?
If there’s enough people who want ‘free speech’ instances, they can easily organise if the numbers are supposedly there.

They would probably not be acceptable by people who approve of the current state of lemmy moderation, and that’s okay.
