Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.
How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?
I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.
And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.
So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.
I feel OK about it, for the most part. I can say "genocide is always wrong" and not get banned here.

Until you get specific
But ya can’t see the word bitch (or a bunch of other swears)
How will I ever decide whether or not to make this tradeoff???
good. not everyone wants to deal with misogyny.
Oh no, not the tyranny of the regular expression filtering of a few bigoted words! This is fascism!
Bitch isn’t a bigoted word lawl
It’s misogynistic, pretty clear cut bigotry.
Not if you’re calling something cool “bitchin’”!
The root word is baked in misogyny, that doesn’t change that dynamic.
Removed by mod
I only see removed but this comment makes me think of female dogs
Yerp, that’s exactly correct hahaha
Other instances don’t remove words
Definitely an example of an over the top word removal, while I get it could be purposeful with some words
