The platform of freedom and free speach is actually a platform of slavery.

as far as i’m aware neither lemmy.ml nor lemmy as a platform claim to be either of these things, and i think it’s safe to say the platform is better for doing that–even if it remains clearly deficient in some technical and social respects. if that’s what you’re looking for i’d probably seek another alternative (or learn to self-host an instance, i suppose)
