    I disagree with the feditips account. I think he’s pushing people away from lemmy rather than the specific instance. I’ve had no issues on lemmy.ml and the mods here have been great. I’m pretty sure he’s just referring to lemmygrad. And like the other user who replied to you said, you could always make a new instance or join another. The political opinions of the devs means nothing if the platform is decentralized. Unlike Reddit, they don’t have power over the entire platform, just whatever instance they host, just like if I made an instance, which I can, I have complete power over it.

      You can look at the modlog and see that lemmy.ml has also banned people for criticism of authoritarian governments. The reddit post I linked to in regards to Tiananmen Square was posted by one of the moderators of lemmy.ml.

        Well, everything else I said stands. You’re on Beehaw, so none of that affects you. I could migrate my account there if it became an issue. Lemmy as an overall platform should still be recommended imo, because there are so many instances to join instead.
