A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Censorship
How is censorship a popular opinion on lemmy?? What does lemmy censor??
Other two i agree with.
I've experienced many lemmies calling for the censorship of others, calls for defederation, etc... maybe its just me
I'm not 100% certain that defederation counts as censorship.
A group recognizing that a different group is harassing and inflammatory towards them and excluding them isn't really stopping them from talking in the first place, and therefore it's not censoring them.
Each individual has the option of picking a side or creating additional accounts so that they can be on both sides if they want.
The only "censorship" here is a very minor hurdle in between the two groups.
Yeah I mean you could take it further and say someone blocking someone or a community is censorship. I mean I just don't like sports and I don't like memes at the volume that is present.
