It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

    And all their users don’t realise that the reason those censoring instances look more like Reddit is because Reddit had a campaign to censor all radical speech. It’s not rare because radical speech isn’t popular, it’s rare because it’s hidden and crushed.

    Would you talk me briefly through setting up your own instance? Do you just run it when you want to go online or do you need to stay connected with a 24/7 self-hosted server? Don’t answer these questions if it means sharing details that would compromise your security.

      campaign to censor all radical speech.

      Yeah, reminds me of posting in r/socialism101. Got a bunch of responses in from communists but my being able to see them and associated notifications were very delayed, indicating Reddit gave some kind of hidden shadow ban on their posts and the mods were manually approving them.
