Anon hates reddit

It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
rational moderation is a pipedream

Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.

It isn't. The baseline could be straight up illegal comments (defamation, threats, extortion, etc.) and some generally accepted rules among most worldviews on top of that.

Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.

2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don't need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
Never ask 2westerneurope4u what they think about Sinti and Roma or eastern Europeans.

Well, it's a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.

I think you replied to the wrong guy, but thanks anyways.

I did indeed but I'm glad you saw it because you put exactly how I've felt about Lemmy into words.

I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We're slowly turning into Reddit
¯\_(ツ)_/¯wrote last edited by [email protected]Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.

This. In recent months I've seen more and more hostile interactions and political strawmans than I can count. Been on Lemmy for over 2 years, and it hasn't changed for the worse until recently.
Yeah, it all changed after Trump's victory and all the crazy shit he started immediately doing. I have both contributed to the problem, and lamented the shift. I don't want this platform to be about slinging half-baked political takes (lumping myself in there, to be clear), but also I can't blame anyone for wanting to discuss the terrifying stuff we're seeing. Really was cooler here, even just 6 months ago.

DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I'm surprised the owners don't divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren't even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.
Blahaj has a no tolerance policy on trans rights, from what I understand, and I think they like how they run their stuff. Maybe you know that already, but if not, maybe that's helpful? It's not so much thin skin as "we're here for the purpose of not seeing that kinda stuff, so we block it here".
DB0 is legitimately one of the coolest places on the modern internet, I'm curious to hear what kinds of things you've seen bans for. The admin/host (by the same name) seems to have very rational, reasonable takes toward moderation, and he values transparency and community feedback. Frankly from my own (instance-level, not community or thread) observations, he seems like a model of high-quality moderation. Your experience sounds off to me, but I hope that doesn't come across as an accusation, I don't intend one.

This post did not contain any content.
these people think women can have dicks
There it is. I was suspicious of this person's politics from the "virtually every topic known to man".

I was talking in terms of my religious beliefs. If you aren't a Christian, my opinion doesn't concern you.

I hate Trump passionately.

Blahaj, I kind of understand. Although I'd prefer if you were to have an LGBTQ+ safe place instance, that the communities primarily on there are LGBTQ+ communities. I don't think I was banned on DB0 by the instance, but multiple communities which seemed to have the same mod.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot be conservative on [email protected] , they're basically just name squatting. They banned me from there because I was calling out a post attacking religion. I wasn't even being that conservative.

I've had that kind of sex lol.
Never fuck a linguist.

They are an ethnicity. To the extent that you can trace Romaní ancestry in people. They have multiple related languages across Europe. This isn't a lifestyle, it's an ethnicity.

Unfortunately, lately Christians have done nothing but fucking make their religious beliefs a concern to me so no. You are dead ass wrong. After having drinks thrown at me, guns pulled on me, being spat at, cussed out, followed around in my car, kicked out of dog parks, and up rooting my entire fucking life to move to a safer place: I'm not a Christian and your opinion concerns the fuck out of me.
