    I think it’s just that the flagship instance yours is not only political, but run by the devs as well. Plus the hard coded word blacklist and whatnot lol

    Right wing and free speech instances are merely reactionary since the flagship platform is political when it should be the other way around

      The blocklist only removed some slurs that were racist or nasty AF.

      Anyone who feels their ability to express themselves is restricted by not having those phrases available should just fuck right off outta here.

        That sort of attitude being mainstream is why Lemmy is probably the most divisive piece of Fediverse software out right now.

        The blocklist only removed some slurs that were racist or nasty AF.

        I literally got censored once for trying to post an article about Ted Cruz being called the b word, because it had the b word in the title.

      Right wing and free speech instances

      There is more than one?

      What is reactionary? And why is it bad?

        Actually not that I know of, just wolfballs.com, but I assume there are far more lemmy instances that I just forgot about

        What is reactionary?

        Making free-speech instances in response to the main instance

        And why is it bad?

        A couple reasons, firstly, it solidifies Lemmy’s reputation as a platform for leftists, and seconds, it unnecessarily divides and isolates right wing users and instances from most Lemmy users who abide by the mainstream Lemmy perspective.

          This website literally describes itself as

          A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers

          Are you lost? I really don’t get people like you.

            I’m not lost, just mentioning that making your software partisan (either by design or reputation) will limit success and utility of the software in a way that’s unnecessarily harmful

              You realize the purpose of this site isn’t profit or a popularity contest, right? It’s a space for leftists, how hard is that for you to wrap your head around?
