If we are trying to advocate free speech here, then it would not make sense to develop censorship tools.

You really can’t think of it as censorship. It’s categorical social media. It’s value is what is curated. While there is a market for controversial material it’s small in comparison to good categorized content. The reddit format imo is not best for freespeech.
4chan does a decent job by having content just constantly disappear. And it can even pay the bills.
4chan makes you click on the nsfw categories, warns you about it and then that content just kinda goes away after a while so it can’t be brought up as arguments against the site later.
But it’s harder to navigate so you pay a price for that.

EH may be a little saucy here and there… but it is NO where near what all the fear mongering is about. This is not stormfront or some other hate site by any stretch other than the by the delusional mind, but those people can’t handle a single blurb outside their safe space echo chamber. I’ll happily come to their instance and stir shit up.

I know posters are likely just trying to supply a steady stream of content, and in that regard I can’t blame them. But the meme sub feels like I’m following my redneck grandpa on Facebook, except without the funny euphemisms. I want to be creatively shocked, not bored.

Thanks for the solid response. I’m aware that this is for the most part a conservative leaning instance, so it makes sense that certain topics get a lot of air time. But I also think it easily leads to what I’d refer to as “humor stagnation”. That’s really my only point of thought.

I wonder if it’s possible to do that

That was my pull request. And my first attempt to try to please free speech folk and other instances. people didn’t like it and no one used it.
All it did was piss off the free speech crowd and did not make the sjws happy.

If this place was so intolerant and full of right wing reactionaries, I could not post the following picture. those other sites, they shit their pants if I posted the any equivalent. reality is that EH is the most well adjusted and tolerant instances on Lemmy.
