Don't bend the knee to other instances, let them all defederate if they can't handle free speech. Its clear that a lot of other instances want to run their sites like Reddit 2.0 with heavy censorship. They complain so much about Reddit but yet want Lemmy to be just like it.

Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)

MODERATORS
yeah there was no point in thinking redditors wouldn't defederate, it was probably inevitable tbh
They're claiming that reddit was too lax. I'm not joking.
I'm just a lurker who wants to laugh at funny internet and you seem to be doing fine so far
Don't over think the stuff. This isn't that big instance with thousands of users.
You guys are my children and im your retarded uncle, i love all of you amd want to do the best i can
Timmehhhhhhhh
Southpark?
yea
Cripple fight
Here’s some constructive criticism. Stop posting unverified claims that serve no purpose but to stir up more hate. I just saw your post about how Biden was solely responsible for inflation, and when pressed for more info, you just said “I’ll post more info but I need a few days” and “I used to fact check, but now I don’t have time, so I just post shit that’s completely unsubstantiated and let other people decide if it’s true or not.” Hint, it’s probably not. At least not in the completely biased way that you’re presenting it. If you honestly do want this place to be a source of news then actually do something to make it that way. Otherwise, this is nothing more than just another echo chamber, and God knows the internet is not in short supply of those at this time.
Not really a criticism, more of a request if you and/or kapow (and anybody else I'm missing) are open to it but wondering if you guys would consider at some point getting together and maybe doing a post about what kind of challenges you guys have had from admin / infra / etc perspectives (obv no sensitive details)
I know the defedding stuff has to be a little disappointing and that's probably what most people think about. But I admit I have been a bit curious if you guys have had to spend a lot of time on fighting spam/trolls/it problems/etc and what it's like.
If you guys don't have time right now, no worries. Was just a thought
You're doing great as it is. Keep it up.
Don't get so upset with defed and trolls. The reason we need this place is that the fascists will not tolerate free speech, so of course they're going to drop any place that does and call us nazis. It's the only trick they know.
