It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.
I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.
Like, you mean, a website? That’s what you mean by “centralized authority”, right? A website? With its Terms and Conditions, following the applicable copyright and IP laws, following the relevant laws of the jurisdiction it operates in? Yeah, I’m fine with that.
If you’re not, go to Exploding Heads. They welcome you. They want you.
We don’t.
I don’t want exploding-heads. I would have blocked the instance myself if it hadn’t been blocked already. My issue is I don’t like having content blocked FOR me because I’m a functioning adult that can make my own decisions about what I see and think. You should be careful with how quick you are to cede control of what you’re allowed to see to others. Might make you pretty susceptible to hate and give you a false sense of reality.
Oh, I see. You want 4chan.
Well, good news! 4chan exists! Go there.

Oh, is 4chan too much freedom for you? What happened to your whole “no rules, just right” attitude?
It’s sounding more and more like you don’t give a single fuck about seeing this kind of content; you want to force us to see this content. All the places you could go to get it, and you’re still arguing that we should have to see it too or we’re not free.
You’re right. We’re not free. We’re sad, pathetic, chained little sheep beholden to a “central authority” that doesn’t allow hate speech. Run while you can! Flee, quickly! Or you, too, might get consumed by the woke mind virus and start thinking that maybe the Jews are ok people!
I like how you’re acting like you aren’t toxic yourself
When did I say that? I’m very toxic towards people who are cool with the view that I should be either “sentenced to death” or “hunted with dogs”.
Oh, you’re not cool with it, you just want to force me to listen to it anyway. That’s so different.
Go back to 4 chan, otaku.
I’m not an unreasonable person. I just wanna chat, share my thoughts, share what I’m into, without being censored to hell because some perpetually offended people took offense at regular everyday human things, or noticing things going on in society and thinking about what might cause such.
I don’t want to send people death threats, I don’t care to say the slurs everyone knows are slurs (but fuck you if you’re gonna declare regular speech to be a slur, or medical terms to be a slur).
I just wanna be able to talk to people online? why is that so hard for people to accept? Why should I be literally banned from civilization simply for acknowledging the medical science on my own diagnosed medical condition; merely because some perpetually offended morons were offended by science?
Why should I be silenced, simply for wanting to discuss things without blindly believing idiots with money?
Are those exploding-heads guys dicks? sure, probably most of them are. are they correct about what they’re saying? I don’t know, I’d like to talk to them and hear where they’re coming from, and tell them about my own thoughts. why do you feel the need to get in the way of that discussion when you aren’t even a part of it? if you don’t wanna chat with those guys, why is it so hard for you to just use the block button? why must you prevent everyone from speaking with them?
I genuinely do not understand that viewpoint, and no one who is on the side of “censor everyone” seems to want to explain it. They’d rather just block/censor/ban you and shut down the conversation entirely. why? are you afraid you might be in the wrong?
so you’re saying you don’t want content blocked for you then proceed to block the largest instance that doesn’t do that?
Yes.
