I’m a bit late to this discussion, but I needed to get my first taste of political censorship on Lemmy first.
My experience was with the “hexbear.net” instance (former Chapo’s Trap House subreddit) which is currently federated with “lemm.ee”.
It shows up nicely in the feed, but if you go there to discuss, you get banned in a moment for stating commonly accepted facts because you’re “reactionary” - Wikipedia is also reactionary, as well as mainstream news - while users praising dictatorial regimes get upvoted and aren’t getting moderated.
Complete echo chamber. At such servers, there’s also no obvious recourse to get a ban or deletion reversed.
I would avoid federation with such places.

Level 3000 hack: compromise security with drone fleas that jump onto drone dogs.
Level 9000 hack: join the pack with a drone attack dog.
- Comment on 'Global Oligarchy' Reigns as Top 1% Controls More Wealth Than Bottom 95% of Humanity 1 month ago:
Suppose the global population is 7 billion. One percent is 70 million then. Neither “you and me” or “EU and me” are suitable candidates. The population of the EU is ~450 million, the population of the US is 330 million.
Some informative graphics, which by the way contradict the title claim of the post. So the 1% = 95% claim might be wrong. Wikipedia says that 1% = 46%.
- Comment on Killer drones pioneered in Ukraine are the weapons of the future 8 months ago:
Say you’re trying to defend against something like a Shahed-136. It can hit pretty much anywhere in Ukraine. You can’t stick an AA gun on everything that Russia might consider trading a Shahed-136 for.
As far as I know, the routine in the current war is - the AA gun is on a truck that moves 80 km/h, the drone comes in 300 km/h, one or many truck crews position themselves on likely vantage points for intercepting, and the rest is luck.

Both of you are right.
It’s difficult, but how difficult depends on the task you set. If the task is “maintain manually initiated target lock on a clearly defined object on an empty field, despite the communications link breaking for 10 seconds” -> it is “give a team of coders half a year” difficult.
If it’s “identify whether an object is military, consider if it’s worth attacking, and attack a camouflaged target in a dense forest”, then it’s not currently worth trying.
