I don’t know how it could get any worse than now. Basically we’re all in echo chambers whichever platform you use. Including Lemmy.
Agreement with “consensus” of whatever bucket you’re placed into is rewarded, and disagreement is punished. Even if only by upvote/downvote. Switching platforms won’t change much.
If you stray from world, things are a bit better. World, however, hasn’t seen a ban or anti-free speech action they didn’t embrace fully. World is a cesspool of smug libs that refuse to engage with anyone they perceive to be on their left or right.
I haven’t had any issues with .world. Ive had more issues with smaller instances banning people/topics. World seems like the most bland or popular of the lemmy instances.
Most of the issues I have with world are invisible because the comments are removed and the users are banned. As long as you stick with their narrative (that Trump bad and Biden/Kamala good) you won’t run afowl of them.
Cant you see everything via the modlist + API? I thought that was one of the benefits of Lemmy is that the modlist is open. I have seen people down-voted for specific comments but not banned.

Many have been banned. A leftist named linkerbaan (or to like that) was one for sure.
The discussion here shows me that linkerbaan’s ban was the right decision: https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/29384791 . Please provide receipts of actual attempted Orwellianism.
