Just found out there is a reddit-styled decentralized alternative connected to the #Fediverse called Lemmy: @LemmyDev

It's nice to see so many decentralized social alternatives becoming available, and people embracing them, as suitable private and free (as in freedom) tools for their daily use.

Word on the street (Mastodon) is Lemmy's a tool developed by right-wing devs who censor content they don't like.
@LemmyDev

@syntax @gadonias we are definitely on the left, as you can see for example on the fact that we explicitly ban racism, sexism, xenophobia and other bigotry on dev.lemmy.ml

How does misinformation spread so easily here? We're explicitly and openly leftists, anyone can easily fact-check this.

And censorship isn't a left-right thing. Any platform that doesn't censor bigotry or hate speech is implicitly allowing and endorsing those viewpoints. You can check out voat or gab if you want to see what censorship-free platforms become.
