      If this community doesn’t welcome people who actively fight against misinformation then I am more than happy to be banned.

        @Senokir In general they are, at the very least, hostile to folks who do so. It’s a main reason I use #Lotide (via narwhal.city) rather than #Lemmy (although there are newer #Lemmy instances out there now that I’m considering joining eventually)

          It is my understanding that that has been the case for a long time, yes. But I also hope that with the large influx of new users that we will overshadow any bad actors attempting to spread misinformation.

          Don’t bother posting if you have nothing interesting to contribute.

        @Solaris1789 Didn’t the #Lemmy software literally use to have a hardcoded blocklist of words it wouldn’t let you use?

            @raresbears Yeah, although there were some other words that were banned as well IIRC

              There were words like “sl**” that where normal words in Danish or something like that, which caused issues with multi language stuff, that’s why it was removed.

                @gary_host_laptop In any case, I’m not salty about it, because it’s now configurable (which it always should have been IMHO), just using it as an example to point out the bias and pro-censorship leanings of those running the #Lemmy software project, who I believe are also running lemmy.ml unless something changed recently

                  “Bias” is such a negatively loaded word. Use Anti-Nazi-bias instead.
