It’s not about hiding it, it’s about bending knee and placating tyrants.
I’m curious as to just how easy it’d be to get around the censorship.
Like, just find one article from a news outlet that links the site, and share that article.
Or otherwise share a fediverse link to a post to the site.

I thought fediverse stuff was getting blocked on reddit too.

Only if it portrays Lemmy in a positive light. You can criticize our toxicity and left-leaning political biases as much as you like in r/RedditAlternatives though:-P.

Narrative control is entirely in the hands of who can hand out bans.

I don’t think we’re particularly toxic, insult matches between MLs and other lefties aside and even then it’s usually infinitely better than your average 4chan thread.
Then again Hexbear being blocked by so many instances prolly helps.

Blocking hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml improved my experience on the Threadiverse by 90%. Blocking lemmy.ml improved it a further 90%, so yeah, blocking hexbear does so very much. I get that someone who intentionally chooses that should have the right to, which nobody is stopping anyone there, but definitely hexbear, like 4chan, is not for the uninitiated.

People who do that truly don’t actually want an alternative, huh?
They just want Reddit under new management

Tbf, most don’t seem to realize what they want, and some are literally and actually children. It hurts the Threadiverse that upon having a bad experience here, they go and talk about us there in that highly negative light. And it helps us here to know what is being said over there - i.e. it’s not solely the onboarding experience being difficult (having to choose an instance, getting through the sign-up process, then community discovery, which never ends, nor does the need to continually block new toxic users), but even for people that remained here for months to a year did not stay, and it’s good to know why (mainly lack of niche content plus toxicity).
