Anyone know of any total open source servers with no admin or mod interference in communities? Many of us left reddit due to mod micromanagement of content and want a truly open source platform (self.asklemmy)

So you want a pedo/nazi/conspiracy/spam forum? Have fun with that.

Its weird you folks are hyper focused on racism and sexualization of kids when im talking about allowing a fricken picture in a lawncare sub. If only mods wouldnt power trip youd actually have a solid point.

I'm an admin of an instance and the reports I see from our users on "unmoderated" communities haunt me to this day...

I can 100% guarantee you that any community that has zero to no moderation WILL turn into a Nazi and CSAM cestpool.

There is no if, only a when...and that when is answered with "very quickly"

The point is those things would be there pretty much immediately.

Just today I got a report of someone spamming a picture of a woman eating a shit. That user was banned.

Now imagine no one banning those people - everyone would be getting the picture.

You don't need your own server/instance to start a community. Find an server/instance and start your community. As long as you don't break instance rules the admins shouldn't mess with you.
