    The fediverse can’t ban you but at some point I guarantee there will be instances that dominate with the amount of users. When that happens, if you are banned, you will essentially be banned from the communities that primarily exist on those instances.

    Sure you could even create your own instance of lemmy but you will be talking to yourself.


  • It is both. And I don’t think Lemmy/kbin can ever be truly successful without a large and diverse 3rd party app support. Everyone isn’t looking for the same type of interface. It is why an “official” reddit app will never truly be successful. I was always more into subreddits that were text content. Having the interface with giant pictures isn’t going to work for me. However, that is what my wife wanted.

    As for censorship, that was always an issue with Reddit. But that doesn’t change on lemmy/fediverse. You can easily be banned by different instances. For instance, lemmy.ml doesn’t tolerate any criticism of the Chinese gov’t at all. When you decide to be on that server, you are agreeing to deal with that type of censorship.
