    I’m not sure lemmy is supposed to be a free speech forum. I get the impression the devs want it to be a space for good non-confrontational discussion. **Not ** a place where all topics are welcome. Above all they want to exclude potentially offensive discussions.

      Actually this is clearly stated by the devs. Have to five them credit for being clear and transparent about the free speech / censorship issue.

      Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

      Can lock, remove, and restore posts and comments.
      

      Can ban and unban users from communities and the site. Can fully erase your data, replacing all posts and comments.
