I just found out Lemmy is blocking and removing users for having varied political opinions that don’t line up with their forceful left ideals. So I’m out.
This was a waste of time.
Would it be much better do you think?
I’ve heard others are worse, but I am not sure of them all. I can look into it.
I just want people to be able to have open, civil conversations without being silenced by biased mods.
If you have an issue with a given community, find or start an alternative one on another instance. If you have an issue with how your instance deals with anyone, sign up for a different instance.
I urge you to consider this before giving up on Lemmy entirely, it’s kind of the beauty of the federated services.
Agreed, there are lots of instances, and that may be one thing that allows Lemmy to actually have space for different political leanings. As I understand, conservative circles are not very large here, but that can change, and smaller communities generally are healthier. Check those out and recruit your pals- be the change you want to see in the world!
Can you say where you got this idea? I see a lot of conservative opinions considering the entire idea behind this platform was conceived and executed by far-leftists.
SeveralAnts is upset that eight copy-paste comments of theirs were removed by a mod from one comment section on !worldnews, each containing the exact same misinformation which implied that Mexican drug cartels had 37 presidential candidates assassinated in order to leave one lone candidate, a Jewish leftist scientist, as the cartels’ preferred candidate. This is a lie. While a few dozen Mexican politicians have been assassinated this election cycle, none of them were presidential candidates.
What SeveralAnts is upset about is that their attempts at spreading lies in order to promote their anti-leftist agenda failed. To that, I say to them good fucking riddance. Go back to Twixxer.
This is true but I’ve found I’ve been blocked on world news for posting comments againts fascist ideas. I’ve been shadow banned from world news for posting comprehensive evidence of china’s crimes against humans aka their concentration camps. It wasn’t opinion i linked to studies, and it wasn’t inflammatory. My comments were removed and now i can’t like or comment.

Thank you so much for commenting this. I thought I was going crazy. World News seems to be the culprit. It isn’t fair to the users to deny information.
I think I’m going to leave, it is too disturbing. I don’t need this.
Really no different than Reddit in that regard. At least we don’t have people automatically banning you for having ever interacted with specific other communities yet, at least I don’t think we do yet.
EDIT: Shit, somehow I forgot the don’t. Teach me not to proofread.

Switch instances?

What Lemmy? Lemmy is not a central authority.

Isn’t [email protected] still going well?
Couldn’t you just move to another lemmy instance? or host your own?

Interesting – me too. OP misunderstood you and thought you’re a conservative. lol

I would suggest rather than entirely leaving the Threadiverse, just leaving that community and joining the [email protected] community.
Yeah i just blocked that community, but really shit we have dickheads like this ruining lemmy with arbitrary censorship.
