      🤣 that’s the most mild misogyny I’ve ever heard. If that’s all it takes to get banned from an entire instance you guys are fucked in the future. I can’t believe I’ve not seen this pettiness before. This whole project is a joke. Death threats are a ok, but mild misogyny gets you banned? You all are warped in the head it that’s how you feel.

        but […] misogyny gets you banned?

        Are you surprised that misogyny gets them banned?

          Remember when we once spoke about how a lot of Redditors are not people we want here and the culture here repulsing some isn’t necessarily a bad thing?

          Well.

          🤣 sure dude, you should look at the comments I was defending against. Threats of murder, misandry, misinformation, harassment. That’s all alright with you though. Man the left is so cooked if y’all gatekeep like that. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say Lemmy is much much worse with censorship and gatekeeping than reddit ever was/is.

          Edit: censorship for perceived “liberalism,” give me a break. What a crook of manure.

          Edit2: it’s even worse than I thought 🤣. Banned for “ignorant lib chauvinism” what a dumb reason. Censored for racism for saying I don’t give Jews the benefit of the doubt after they pulled a genocide against Palestinians.

            The internet is a tool. In the age of AI what we need more than ever is real local communities. I think when it comes to getting the truth out it is pearls before swine. Throw them meat and see how the herd digests. It is like digital drive by. The real world is outside. the internet is a tool. Don’t be a tool. worship principal not men.It don’t take any of this online stuff too seriously and with a historical framework I know with certainty that capitalism with be abolished or justice will be served. We still live in the age of imperialism and capitalism is the economic system that is used globally. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. With the left and right paradigm, there are points of intersectionality that will eventually bring both sides together. The rich know this, that’s why they’re building cop cities. The discourse in the public is surface level and never gets to the root cause because they never plan on dealing with that and they just want you to be happy with what you got, which is not much. But don’t let the internet be a crutch. One day, they’ll start snatching us all up. Like the UK. Black bag and all. It’s not just immigrants that they plan On snatchin’ up. I don’t know if anybody remembers, but there was a black socialist group full of aging boomers that got raided by Biden’s police state. So both political parties are pretty much slaves to foreign investment, which is really just a money laundering scheme that goes back into the treacherous pockets of the ruling elite that lives in the United States. For instance, the German people are not devils, not even during World War II, because every war is a bankers’ war, and it has nothing to do with the Jews. If you have a well-rounded understanding of up to World War I up to now, you realize that none of this stuff is really a surprise. The Book of History never closes. The United States did not destroy Hitler’s Germany, but employed the fascist to fight the Soviet Union. Hence, the saying that fascist are the useful idiots of empire. And empire doesn’t make room for democracy. As the bread gets short, people will start to see their place in the hierarchy. It’s also called the Imperial Boomerang. What goes around, comes around. Yankee gets what Yankee deserves.

              Despite the wall of text, you’re not wrong. This was an appreciated comment. I do think it’s incredibly important for folks to remain vigilant, and probably get armed, but at least vigilant as a community. Times aren’t good for any lefty when the SecDef says he believes there are “irreconcilable differences between the Left and the Right in America leading to perpetual conflict that cannot be resolved through the political process”. Sounds like violence to me, friends.

              Yes more leftist echo chambers. That’s sure to bring the masses to our cause. I guess we don’t really share a cause. No wonder right-wing fascism is getting so popular.

                  Sounds like projection to me. If you think segregating the left is the correct course of action, I can’t agree. Unity is what NEEDS to happen.

        Yeah that whole situation was stupid.

        I still cannot believe they legitimately think multiple death threats (even if they were ridiculous) aren’t as bad as my original “misogynistic” comment.

        Most of the mods on Lemmy are a joke and a good majority of the users themselves are lost. It’s whatever.

        Our only hope is that more users with varying options join over time and they simply get overwhelmed by people having normal ass opinions.

        Or they double down and start banning people even sooner.

        Only time will tell if Lemmy grows or they will drive into a slow death.

            I’ll tell you I’ve never been censored for saying Jews are commiting a genocide against the Palestinians on Reddit. Say it here though and you’ll be censored and labeled a racist. I’ve never been banned from huge swaths of servers for “ignorant lib chauvinism,” on Reddit. Not once in the 14 years I used the platform.

              I’ve been censored for that many times. So have a whole lot of other people here. So you must be oen of the luckiest people alive. Go buy a lottery ticket.

              If thats your truth, cool, but you cant deny that a lot of people here are reddit banning refugees, and they mostly say it was because of zionist mods pushing their agenda.

                If that’s your truth then fine, but just know Lemmy is at least as censorship heavy and echochambery as Reddit. About the only thing I can say here that I can’t on Reddit is Luigi.

                I’ve spotted tons of death threats, misandry, and calls to violence here. Those aren’t good ingredients to build a reddit replacement.

                    Gear for defense is necessary for protection against tankie/fascist needlessly bloody revolution.

            Isn’t that why most people are here at this point? I know the original Exodus started with the whole API thing but I think Lemmy is majority ex-reddit users who got banned in the last year or so. My ban came outta nowhere and they didn’t even tell me what rule I broke. When I appealed asking what rule I had broken they instantly denied it without clarifying what rule I had supposedly broken. I had been banned from a handful of random subs over the years for various stupid things but I had never ticked off any admin or anything. I’m not the only person who had an account with hundreds of thousands of karma that was almost as old as the site just randomly get thanos snapped either.
