There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:

Before joining Lemmy: "It really doesn't matter what instance you join, you'll be able to see content from all over."

After joining Lemmy: "So you've enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!"

What's the beef here? I'm out of the loop.

Lemmy.world is very liberal leaning and defederated from the Marxist aligned instances. Lemmy.ml is more broadly federated and has Marxist mods and admins, and more leftist users in general.

That's it. Some users make it a fight.

It's our version of sports teams

Would be more fun for it to be soccer or chess or something, lol

very liberal leaning and defederated

For me, "slight liberal leaning" is more appropriate for them

There's currently about 600 lemmy instances, in many different countries, and those countries each have different laws regarding the protection of speech. Some of it is also just power-tripping mods or left-wing / right-wing censorship.

If this is happening to a community you like, you can always switch to the same community in a different instance. Eventually, the "official" community will have the most subscribers and the community with the censorship problems will wither and die.
