😏 be like me and use a cast iron skillet that weighs a ton, never is slick like you see on the internet, and is a removed (really Lemmy? Auto censor?? FFS) to clean

In all seriousness, I just made scrambled eggs on the ol' beast and they turned out decent. Far from non stick but it's non cancer at least.

(really Lemmy? Auto censor?? FFS)

That's your instance, ml is a turd like that.

I have no clue how Lemmy works. I made an account and just assumed that was that.

Each 'instance' has slightly different rules that apply. Mostly it doesn't affect users, as you can interact with other instances just fine.

Lemmy.ml censors a number of common curses and is run by Uyghur genocide deniers.

Well that's unfortunate. What are more ideal instances of Lemmy? Thanks for the explanation, by the way.

I'm on sh.itjust.works and haven't heard of any issues with it, it's been working pretty well.

Lemmy.world is currently the most popular large instance, Lemmy.today is another one. There are A LOT of instances to pick from if you'd rather connect to one closer to your region or attuned to your personal tastes, and they can all access posts from other instances so if you think an instance is run by people you can trust then feel free to make an account there.

To add onto Pug Jesus' explanation, each instance is a self-hosted server separate from all the others. That means they can potentially be removed or re-added to the fediverse at any moment, they all follow their own rules so the only fediverse-wide restrictions are that the instance isn't so insufferable that every other instance blocks them or defederates from them.

EDIT: A list of known servers HERE

I believe the ML there stands for Marxist Leninist (one of the flavors of communism)

Instances to avoid if you dislike censorship or state run propoganda:

Lemmy ml

Slrpnk net

Hexbear

Lemmygrad

Beehaw (not state run, but very "family friendly" strictness)


P.S. I've tested like 58 wizard swears over on 196 bahaj and they only censor Faggot, which is on brand.

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Evidently your current instance censors that last word too.

Oh, huh. I didn't realize .world did that on anything.
