Does Lemmy allows the same behaviour of moderators if they want to be such? I am searching a Reddit alternative with no ability to delete anything. The only acceptible for me censoureship is having a special forum branch with spam, trolls, nsfw and any other unwanting behaviour with no rights to write anywhere else for those who get banhammered.

Anything without the ability to delete user content becomes instantly unusable due to spam, pornbots and (if the site get big enough) CSAM.

  Then CSAM point becomes kind of a religion for social networks. Either a social network is able to resist government's urge of terrorism prevention and child protection (I am referencing to some famous meme on censourship) or its moderator's ego is going to have an endless growing exposed in banning some users with some fancy excuses. Now try to convince me that Lemme is not a spam from Reddit's PoV.

    How do you stop your website from being filled with CSAM? “Religion” aside, what do you actually do with your mouse and keyboard when you see CSAM pop up on a website that you pay for?

>I am searching a Reddit alternative with no ability to delete anything. Good luck with that: between libel and illegal pornography whoever operated such a service would very quickly be inundated with legal woes. The fact is community standards exist for a reason: they don't need to be absolutely permissive, only permissive enough

  Since Elon is turning Twitter into Gab does Gab have any reason to exist?

    Twitter doesn't take such a hard stance. For example when European countries ask Gab to censor content that is illegal there Gab declines.

  The first post I got when I opened that link was from a user going by "Kitler" (based on the profile picture, it's a kitten version of Adolf Hitler) Kitler's post was culture war stuff about homosexuals. Clicking on his profile, I get taken to a bunch of racist and anti-semetic posts. Gab is for a certain kind of person.

    You know how people in California claim that the homeless problem there is due to them having programs to support the homeless, and that if other states did a better job their state would have less of a problem? Well if you are basically the only website that allows all legal speech, you are going to see a lot of stuff that was censored elsewhere. I'd love to see a version of this created by a more left wing group of people to balance things out, and whouldve recommended it here if it existed, but they seem to have abandoned free speech as a concept entirely.

Lemmy you can host your own server with your own rules, or use a server who's rules you like.
