    Hope springs eternal…

    I think I should quit this instance because it makes me lose my faith in humanity. What people here support is just always more restrictions.

      Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

        I didn’t wanna say go back to reddit but… Not that the people there are better, but it’s easier to find a competent niche and dismiss bad ideas as unimportant.

        You’re right that Lemmy should prefer “online freedom”. That’s what makes it so hard to bear, or to dismiss.

        I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here.

        There are two kinds of freedom that brought people to Lemmy.

        One is the freedom of user expression from corporate control, which is the freedom that drug me away from Reddit.
        The other is the freedom to be fascist assholes who can espouse their love for command-economy dictatorships, viewpoints that aren’t acceptable on other parts of the “clear” web. Many do still get filtered out but many do still get through.
