stupid question, but anyway: does it have admins? so is Lemmy less censored than Reddit?
Every instance has an admin. They are listed at the bottom of the sidebar of the instance.
The good thing is that every team of admins can manage their instance and the communities hosted as they want.
So if an admin wants to censor a certain topic on their instance, people will just move the community to another instance that would accept it.
A good example if !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which cannot be accessed from lemmy.world.
how cool, i like lemmy more and more. thx
Happy to help, feel free if you have any more question
The piracy is specifically why I moved to db0. I'm not even a pirate anymore but the information should be visible and easily accessible.
And can be accessed from Fedia.io. I don't know where the nazis fucked off to, good riddance, sez I.
Lemmy has admins in the way that email providers do.
Another example: my instance blocks porn. Those who agree with this policy may enjoy this instance, but it doesn’t impose its rules on anyone using other instances who can access that content freely.
It’s kind of like email. They are all connected, but the rules are set by your provider and those who are willing to communicate with you. There is no one person who can set the rules for everyone.
