Comment on If you guys are still going to use lemmy after EH goes down, what do you think of these ones?

All the mentionedinstances are fairly small with minimal activity except Division by Zero whose terms include no extreme right wing and no anti-science which makes me question their free speech commitment. Would they regard any questioning of the government’s propaganda concerning COVID as anti-science and extreme right wing? I’m beginning to question whether Lemmy is irredeemable. I recently posted from another instance to communities outside that instance and while I was not censored by the instance from which I posted, I got tons of negative comments from Marxists. The trolls on Lemmy seem overwhelming.

Lemmy is irredeemable

it’s just that right wing and libertarians aren’t hosting instances, not that it can’t be redeemed

left instances can be “trolled” within the rules plenty

Yea lemmy is pretty WAY far left in my experience and honest opinion. Honestly, you should try squabbles they are free speech. And probably try reddit again it’s gotten better (Clearly still not free speech)

but it’s been a little more bearable as their arnt as MUCH leftist there at least for right now.

I think lemmy will end up breaking off into so many echo Chambers, ppl will realize the farce of what the fediverse claims to be and go right back to reddit.

I give it to the end of the year or beginning of next year where everyone is right back to where they were

  I had really hoped that instances that allowed more wide and varied opinions would naturally grow in size to be the largest. Instead de-federation as continue to cut and slice and separate anyone and everyone. It will never be able to compete with large centralize services like that.

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Fucking absolutely agree. I also think their heads got hot when they started gaining reddit users.
    
    I feel at some point they want to leverage that in some way to get out of their day jobs and make profit while incorporating even stricter rules.
    
    I’ve seen beehaw say something about subscriptions in the Admin chat. Also selling merchandise (not sure if that’s relevant) I think they WANT to become the next ‘reddit’ so they can get paid to censor speech.
    
    Grow lemmy as big and powerful as they can so they can mass censor. And if any new servers want in well they gotta play by their rules.
    
    That’s just my conspiracy anyway. I’ve said before, MOB, ALLLLLLLLLLLLL they talk about on matrix is banning, defederating, censorship that’s literally it.
    
    They are obsessed
