This seems to be becoming the hot topic, the elephant in the chatroom - the balance between censorship / freedom of speech on lemmy. There are solid arguments for both ways, and good compromises too.

IMO the FAQ makes it quite clear what the devs have built here, and why. But recent discussions, arguments, make it clear that a lot of the most vocal users object to it.

I’m very curious. Many active users feel this way? Please vote using the up arrows in the comments.

    As long as lemmy is actually a private company and not getting kickbacks, they can have whatever speech rules they want.

    I like having places be free speech absolutist…but I wouldn’t allow all types of speech in my own business…why should a virtual space?
