Misogyny is not welcome here. This instance is Europe based and that crap won't fly here.
This instance is ~~Europe~~ based and that crap won't fly here.
Poland would like a word
Server owners have discretion over community creation and federation. If you create your own instance, you're totally free to have whatever communities you like.
Looks like you created your own instance, do you know of a guide for what that entails and the requirements for doing so? I doubt I do it but would be interesting to look into.

I'm unaware of hardware requirements, but specs will entirely depend on how many users and communities (local and federated) an instance has. I'm running on a very small VPS with no current desire to add users.
This makes me like Lemmy world even more. Go team!
Well, here's the thing. lemmy.world is hosted by someone that wants to host Lemmy on their own infra. Someone is choosing to serve it out of their own good will. You created a very controversial community, and the person hosting the instance didn't want it to be on the server. That's all there is to it.
This is the same thing as being racist at someone's dinner party and getting kicked out for it. You're not entitled to run a community at a place that isn't yours. But that's the neat part: Lemmy is open source and federated. You can create your own Lemmy instance that is your own and be as anti-women on there as you want. Maybe some other like-minded servers will even want to federate with you.
It is of course the right of the lemmy.world to run their instance any way they want.
But they owe it to the community to communicate clearly who is welcome on their server. The sidebar reads:
The World's Internet Frontpage
Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.
That certainly makes it sound like they’re trying to be a default neutral lemmy instance welcoming of every valid discussion topic from every end of the political spectrum. A Reddit replacement. Reddit allows right wing discussion.
Whatever their intent, they could at least respond to this discussion.
I don’t agree with your pithy “that’s all there is to it”
This seems like a good spot to ask: is there a way to follow a post and get updates?
This seems like it might end up being an interesting conversation.
Seconded. I'm personally bookmarking then popping back later 😅
Yep, this is my Lemmy request for "how do I get my popcorn ready?"
I am firmly pro-choice, but I don’t think pro-life voices should be deplatformed, unless they were inciting violence. Deplatforming nazis is one thing, but this isn’t that. Deplatforming prolife communities is basically banning large parts of Christianity, including Catholicism.
I was unaware that one had to pass a political purity test in order to participate in lemmy.world. If that is the case, i will probably look to move on to a different instance unless an admin can give a legit reason for this banning.
I don’t want to take a political purity test to be here, even if it’s one I’m sure I would pass.
If I was an instance admin, I would prefer the community be called AntiAbortion, rather than ProLife or ForcedBirthers tbh, the latter two names are more likely to piss people off vs the first one.
Same could be said for ProAbortion or ProChoice, but due to my bias I don't see anything wrong with those names - although I acknowledge it could upset some religious denominations, and of course those who oppose that stance
Everyone has the right to self identify. “Pro life” is the name the movement chose for itself.
Pro-life is inherently violent because they force wwn to carry nonviable pregnancies to term.
I chose lemmy.world because their listing on join-lemmy.org called it “the worlds internet frontpage”. I thought it would be a good neutral Reddit replacement. If this is not the case, can anyone recommend one that is? What about lemmy.one?
Lemmy.one is run by the guy who runs privacy guides.org. That being said, if you look at the small list of communities he created, I guarantee that he won't allow any conservative views there either. There's one privacy community and 4 or 5 alternative lifestyle communities.
Better off making your own instance at this point. Most of Lemmy is liberal/left wing regardless of what their sidebars say.
I’m a little annoyed by the implication that someone who is liberal or left wing wouldn’t allow conservatives on a discussion forum.
Free speech is a core part of liberalism.
