Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Well, lemmy.ml is known to have some bias.
It would be more concerning to have this on Lemmy.world
It could, even if admin didn't have such bias, mods could have the same bias.
I guess as always, users need to assess how the moderation of communities fit wit their own views, and change communities/instances if needed.
lol
It does. I have experienced it myself. The Mods have themselves stated that there is no freedom of speech in lemmy.world.
Additionally, because many people have an incorrect understanding of it: Bias is not exclusive to any specific individual or group of individual. Every individual and group of individuals has bias. All Human Beings have bias of one form or other and that is simply because the Human Conscious is a reflection of the Material Conditions and is not independent from it.

You are correct, and therefore there shouldn't be freedom of speech for the sake of it in any social media platform worth going to. "Free speech" ignores the values of respect, ettiquite and gives plenty of room for trolls and flamebaiters to play games with moderators. Seems like a nightmare for a server operator to manage.
To have a place where people can have level-headed discussion about topics including controversial ones, certain ground rules need to be set, which inherently are limits to speech. If you don't like the rules or how they are enforced, the freedom that you have in Lemmy/the Fediverse is to move to another server in line with what you think are better rules/rulers, or for you to bother with the moderation work yourself in your own community on your own server where no one tells you what to do.
