Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?

    Which word or phrase do you suggest we should use instead for the idea of freedom of speech applied on a private level? Where in this case the instance admin takes on the role of regulating what can or can’t be communicated on their instance.

      Freedom from censorship.

      Which doesn’t apply to Lemmy either, different instances just censor different trains of thought.

        Honestly, I might start saying that just to stop that “what is freedom of speech” sycophants from jerking each other off.

        People can just as easily say that only the government can censor you and that private corporations and individuals are free to not allow you to say things they don’t want you to.
