Please convince me that I should continue my support or advice what I can do. I’m prepared to do my part, but I can only do so if I can be sure that my support is not going to people who think arbitrary Censorship is alright (needs to be based on objective community rules and not on the political agenda of mods).

    Thank you for your thoughtful response. I will consider the matter further.

    It is exactly as you say: Lemmy is, of course, excellent and absolutely worthy of support. I am just not entirely sure whether my contribution will actually end up in development. However, I will have to live with this uncertainty. I just find it problematic that .ml stands for pretty much the opposite of why I want to support Lemmy — namely, free discourse free from political influence by the platform itself. That’s simply not the case with .ml, because their moderators only allow their own narrow-minded views — and I fear that this approach is supported by the developers.

    Nevertheless, the software itself remains worthy of support, you’re absolutely right about that.

      I still throw a cpl bucks in the pot now and again. .ml is ridiculous, but I’m loving .world and all the other instances not full of Stalin ball lickers. And all of it is better than the capitalistic, mass manipulation, ai driven cesspool reddit has become.
