A few users have pointed out that Truth Social’s moderation policy is significantly more strict than that of Twitter, despite its claim to be a refuge from Big Tech’s censorship. Unlike Twitter, Truth Social users can get suspended or booted from the platform altogether for posting content that moderators consider to be false, defamatory or misleading. While Twitter has had broad bans in the past on Covid-19 and election misinformation, it regularly allows other types of misinformation to fly by. Truth Social users also can get banned for posting content that moderators deem to be “libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable”.

Oh the irony!

      Except most Lemmy instances don’t claim to be “free speech above all else”. We specifically have anti bigotry rules and other measures so the community doesn’t become a race to the bottom.

      That’s why there’s federation. If you don’t like an instance, try a new one or make your own.
