it isn't yet saturated by corporate and other agenda minded shills.
it isn't controlled by a board of directors or single owners.
although it is vulnerable to quite a bit. info mining, misinformation campaigns, etc.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
after lemmy i would definitely check out the products that can explore more of the fediverse, like mbin. it cant interoperate with lemmy and allows intercommunication with the 'microblog' side of the fediverse, which lemmy is incapable. https://moist.catsweat.com
The government can send simply send (backdoor) directives for censorship on certain issues that they can do with big companies.
You can create a post with link, image and content all at once.
Fester a cesspool of social justice warriors and armchair generals who talk out of their ass in hopes of provoking some reaction so they can feel important for the day.
This is a very negative comment but also funny. Have upvoted.
Thank you. :) Also true to a degree. There are toxic people everywhere but it seems I've been running more often into them lately.

Censorship
You thought Reddit mods had a stick up their asses? Lemmy ones have a fucking log instead.
That only applies to specific instances, or even specific communities. Just switch to a different instance or community, or make your own. If you don't like lemmy.world, try out either exploding-heads or lemmygrad, depending which way you swing, and vice versa. Somewhere out there is the community and instance for you, and if none of them are to your taste, nothing's stopping you from making your own - that's the beauty of the fediverse.

Fixed that for you!
I'm half-joking. Being completely serious now, I don't think that censorship here is worse than in Reddit, just more visible due to features like the mod log, and lack of features like the automoderator (it's harder to detect if you've been silenced if it happens automatically, based on keywords).

When they call you "queer" and "a CCP stooge" on Reddit, it's a flame. On the Fediverse, it's a sign of love and camaraderie, if not an outright cost of admission.
