Joan Westerberg has been doing great work on the Fediverse. I pasted this link in the one sub I miss r/idiocracy:

My post was really good — I used Idiocracy speech to get my scros to join me in LEMMY and not only was the post rejected but I earned a temporary ban at Reddit.

At this point there isn’t even a point in going back to leave a breadcrumb trail to be followed.

    I appreciate the fediverse, but I still have a couple of issues with it. There IS censorship in the fediverse, there is still cancelling of people. There are still restrictions on freedom of speech. A lot of the garbage that reddit had carried over here. A lot of the cult mentality carried over here, too. Some mods have the same power trip mods on reddit have. Good thing there are many other servers you can join, and you don’t get permanently banned for “ban evasion”. I’ve left every single other proprietary platform and joined an alternative on the fediverse, except YouTube. Working on that.

      Cancelling of people? WTF is that even supposed to mean?

      If you act like a piece of shit, that’s gonna have repercussions because people don’t like people who are shitty. That’s not cancel culture, that’s just the consequences of your actions.

      As for censorship, if you don’t like how an instance is run, go start your own, with blackjack, and hookers!
