If its any consolation wrt Harley riders, the company is losing customers to old age, and attempts to appeal to the younger generation just get the old one (their existing base) mad enough to protest loudly against it, leading to the rep of it being a weekend warrior bike for grandpa to live his never was (as opposed to has been) biker fantasy. Not gonna stop a particular brand of pencil-dicks from making their cars loud and obnoxious, ofc, but still, take w's where you can.
South Park completely nailed the "removeds" episode. That was one for the ages. Aww c'mon, are we really worse than Reddit when it comes to censorship? Goddammit... Seems the "removeds" won.
Can you reveal what's behind the censorship enforced by Lemmy.world without triggering it?
Alternatively I would suggest you look for another instance that isn't draconian.
I'm assuming he is talking about the biker gang episode, in which case he is probably talking about the F-word (meaning the slur against gay people).
Personally, I think having a filter against slurs is not unreasonable
Context is key though. I’d say allow everything and let the downvotes be a filter.
Lemmy is still relatively new, and you grow the audience you nurture.
A lack of moderation means that racists, bigots, general assholes, etc, will find an easier time settling on this platform.
And I'll be honest, if that would be where Lemmy is headed I'm not sticking around to see it turn into that cesspool
I'm personally quite happy with the level of moderation I'm seeing on lemmy.world. It's not overly heavy handed, but it seems to generally be applied where it makes sense to apply. Essentially the "don't be a dick" rules of the forum days of old.
