    This is where the transparency that comes with FOSS vs private corp really shines. You can always check an instance’s modlog to see for yourself where lines are drawn.

      Neat, but I’m having a hard time understanding the information on there… Is it instance wide? Or federated? Can I narrow my results by community?

        It is the modlog for the instance in the link (lemmy.ml, in the link I provided). <-- edit: I just looked and I’m now second-guessing myself on this

        I think the only filter option is by user.

    1. Almost every instance will almost certainly filter illegal content in their respective jurisdictions, and those that don’t might not be around for long.
    2. There is a modlog. Just click on it, and you will see what gets removed.

    What is censorship for you? I mean do you want to have an instance that deletes nothing?

    BeeHaw will supposedly censor what they deem to be “hate speech”

    I’ve heard reports about lemmy.ml censoring criticism of the CCP. how true this is i don’t know. One of the devs apparently also runs Lemmygrad

      Censorship of CCP criticism would be in the modlog if it were true. I’ve only been here a couple weeks but the only things I see the admins refuse to tolerate are racism, homophobia, and hate speech in general. They don’t allow porn but that has more to do with practical challenges than any (expressed) problem with other people wanting it.
