    before ya go, ‘lemmy’ is a software package used by many, many different server-instances with their own moderation levels. its not a ‘site’ so much as an ecosystem.

    for example, youve posted this to lemmy.ml, one of the most heavy handed of the instances with regards to moderation. you should try out other instances like lemmy.world or even other products that get you the same data with less moderation (https://moist.catsweat.com)

    youve just dipped your foot in the pool, dont leave because of a few mosquitos

      Misinformation on news, and any person that tries to corrects it gets bullied outta there… ain’t a small thing though.

      I would say that is quite a big thing. Specifically.news subs.

      I think I was on world but still figuring it out. Thanks!

        You were just given the correct answer but you are too butthurt to hear it. Lemmy isn’t a site. Lemmy isn’t run by a single corporate overlord with homogenous rules. Lemmy is just software and part of an ecosystem that is comprised of many different instances. What you are saying equates to “People reacted poorly to my tweet. Why is HTTP so toxic?!?”.

        If you want a safer version of Lemmy, try Beehaw.org. If you want a bigger server that is closer to Reddit, try lemmy.world.

        EDIT: Autocorrect sucks.

            I always browse “All” so I can see stuff from every corner that hasn’t defederated lemmy.ml. I see some beehaw now and again. Not much though.
