Hey all — just launched openmic.social, a general-purpose Lemmy instance with a specific mission: open discourse + transparent, restorative moderation.

The pitch is simple — anyone can grab the mic — and the thing that makes us different is what happens when you cross a line:

  • No shadowbans, ever. If your post is removed or your account is actioned, you’re told — what happened, which rule, and how to fix it.
  • We help before we punish. A heads-up and a path back come before a ban. Bans are the last resort, not the first reflex.
  • Moderation in the open. Every call is appealable, publicly, in our !meta community.
  • Hard lines only: nothing illegal, no targeted harassment, no doxxing, no spam. That’s what keeps the mic open for everyone.

We’re brand new, which means early adopters shape the culture. Come introduce yourself, bring a community that needs a home, or start one — I’ll help you set it up and mod it.

    I also took these comments to heart and made some updates to our sidebar. I appreciate anyone who wants to participate in good faith, I started this because Reddit shadow banned me simply for trying to advertise my business. They didn’t even give me an opportunity to make things right, and it was a honest mistake. I think thats a really crappy thing to do to people. I don’t want to participate in that.

          Ps, this will sound nuts, I don’t fear death, I’d welcome it like an old friend, but they know what I know hence they can’t fuckin kill me. There are things known, and things unknown and in between are the “Doors of Perception” I am the Liver King I can outdrink kegski
