And on Lemmy the ‘those in power’ that can and will censor you are the mods/admins of whatever community/instance you’re on that don’t like your politics.
and no ones denying the existance of such… Fact is at the end of the day no one actually winds up liking uncensored platforms. First and foremost is obviously spam, advertisements etc… But assuming just spam is blocked, a zero censorship platforms first wave will be people who’s views constantly get them kicked off other platforms. It’s not really possible to a have a platform welcoming to literal self identified nazi’s, that doesn’t quickly become exclusively nazi’s.
So yeah lemmy the thing I like about it overall is I think we are all in agreement, the initial showerthought is right… we generally are only OK with censorship that meets our own views of what should be censored, and lemmy offers the ability for people who disagree, to make their own instance. So you can have anything from tanky friendly to nazi friendly instances.
It’s an idea I’ve considered too. And I’ve heard it from a few people and it isn’t too far out. Surely somebody has done a variety of Lemmy or that other thing.
As someone else pointed out, if I kick you out of my house because I don’t like the shit you say that’s not censorship or deportation - it’s merely me exerting my authority over a space I own.

I’d rather censorship was entirely client side, but I haven’t seen any social media that does that.

That is not censorship.
