        They are pretty controversial for a lot of (well founded) reasons, but I think the main thing in this case is that they are very heavy handed in their moderation, an odd place to go when trying to avoid censors

          More specifically, “Tiananmen Square didn’t happen and if it did it’s good” kind of tankies.

        Yeah when I first made my account back in June, i was under the impression that it didnt matter what community you made an account on. They all are linked together. Over time it seems like some groups dont like other groups and defederate from them. Lemmy.ml was one if the biggest groups at the time, so I joined it

      @happybadger Create your own instance while you still can. If you’re interested in hosting large images pick mbin instead of Lemmy and I can help you bypass filesize restrictions

        “while you still can”

        That is ominous. Creating my own instance has been a “someday” project for me. Is there something to be worried about?

          If you want to be your own community’s host, you’ll also want to start your own community on your instance. The longer you wait, the more users will have to move from the current to the new community. We started ours on an existing server (and it still exists) but we realized early that it would not give us enough control over the posted content (specifically filesize limitations) So we quickly started our own instance.
