On what ideals were Lemmy created? I am asking it because I am considering supporting Lemmy any way I can but I won’t if the ideals of it’s creators are anything but upholding free speech. I want to know more about this website, can someone refer me to a book or a video which might encapsulate it?
What I mean by free speech: There is no justification to censor any views unless those views are directly demanding for physical violence against a person or community. Direct physical violence of course doesn’t include offensive speech against any religion (be it Islam, Hinduism or Christianity) or against any ideology or any “protected groups”.
This depends on where a particular instance/server of Lemmy is hosted. The software is as free speech as you make it, but not all instances can host all forms of speech legally, depending on the specific country that a particular Lemmy server is located in.
