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”.

    You might have found it already, but wolfballs.com seems like it might have the kind of rules you want (although look at their modlog and decide for yourself 🙃). Neither Lemmy.ml nor Lemmygrad.ml federate with, but it’s listed on https://join-lemmy.org, and one of the Lemmy authors said in Matrix chat:

    The purpose of the joinlemmy instance list is for people to find instances they may like. Not for us to decide which instances are “good” or “official”

    Maybe that’s reassuring to you that the network makes space for that kind of instance, even if the “official” instances have a different approach to community guidelines.
