There was that peak time back in the 2010s. Right after they got rid of all the worst hate communities but before they were taken over by astroturfing.

The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?
Apparently it's Athena Linux. At least, that's what the hackable vacuums use.
Lemmy is kind of forced to be, too.
Horrific speech can be removed from the site. But if you want to see it, the admin logs are open to the public. Other instances also aren't forced to play along with the views of one instance. And each instance can choose whether they want to connect with others.
So you could create your own Christian Nationalist and White Supremacist Lemmy. But our instances don't have to federate with it. And if they choose to do so, we can leave for a different one or the users can block it entirely.
Lemmy lets anyone have a platform and, simultaneously, it doesn't force anyone to listen to you just because you have your own platform. Basically, everything that makes Lemmy a decentralized platform also makes it good for moderation without harming free speech.
