saveanon12Reddit censors story on Starlink losing over 300 satellites after it jumps to #2 overall for r/worldnews
I like a good anti reddit circlejerk as much as anyone, but this community did the same thing lemmy.world/post/6105113 was here yesterday, it’s gone now
So that’s what happened I was like where did it go.
Before the mass migration there was a bunch of crazy extremists using the fediverse.
When “normal” instances started getting popular, those people made communities on there and now they’re the top mods of communities on lots of instances.
Something tells me Elons minions are everywhere including at reddit.
steve huffman is one of his loudest simps
I heard twitter X was the true bastion of free speech. Maybe try there.
The satellite loss is expected and has been discussed pretty thoroughly already. The larger story, to me, is that that the whole starlink project is haemorrhaging money and it’s still being subsidized by taxpayer money.
I like how you’re downvoted for speaking about the actual issue.
300 low earth orbit satellites that were designed to be temporary out of a fleet of 5000.
But “private company, operated by billionaire who opposes raising taxes on his bracket, wants YOUR tax money to keep his business afloat”. How’s that for clickbait, lol
Because Elon’s minions are here. But yeah the story is they wiped the story.
Maybe people only read like 10 words and thought I was somehow pro-elon? Maybe they took my sarcastic twitter quip seriously? *Shurg*
Somewhere Bill Gates is a happy man watching Elon repeat his past mistakes with Teledesic
Walt J. RimmerI thought Lemmy was supposed to be the best free speech alternative
I don’t think there’s any good definition of a “good” free speech website. Because everyone’s going to disagree on the criteria of what makes one good. Myself, I like more moderation, but I like that moderation to be held accountable in an attempt to keep the moderation higher quality and honest. Some people see free speech as no moderation, total anarchy, and I hate that, I’ve seen some websites that tried that, it turned into hate speech and revenge porn and other terrible things very quickly.

I have yet to find a single website where that hasn’t happened within a year or so, unless they manage to stay very small and out of the public eye.
CatoblepasThe difference is in the response once the people in charge of the site are made aware of the content. Someone striking while mods are asleep isn’t the same as running Kiwi Farms.
and it is, it was removed by the lemmy.world, not from the fediverse, you are on their instance, it’s their rule, go to other instance with less strict rules
MuddybulldogLenny isn’t just “one thing”. Every instance has its own rules and standards. Lenny itself has zero policy with regards to free speech, for or against. Nor does the Fediverse as a whole.
You can start your own Lemmy instance and have all the free speech you want.
As has been pointed out previously, this isn’t about censorship. It’s about low quality posting. Even if the information is completely valid your post to Reddit violated the sub rules and your low effort conspiracy postings on Lemmy serve no value.
It’s not and never claimed to be. Lemmy is a piece of software, the instance owners and community moderators choose what stays and what’s goes, every Lemmy instance is just a glorified forum of old internet. Federation means the post isn’t solely controlled by the instance owners, but deletion is federated so the instance deleting it sends notice to every other instance where it exists to delete it as well, and then it’s up to that instance to do it (tho Lemmy will do this automatically so it would require altering the server code to stop that)
