I believe it's actually the opposite. So many extremists or "I don’t agree with you therefore you’re a troll" bullshit.
You get censored and banned for pretty much anything. Lemmy is no exception and pretty obviously like that.
Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.
It really depends on the community and the mods awake at the time.
One of my accounts got a week ban from a larger community for being "accusatory". Because I said someone sounded like they were spreading misinformation.
Depends on the things you say, where…
If you’re generally leftist, you should mostly be fine.
Otherwise you get banned for trolling (because ofc they’re right so you’re trolling) or transphobia, because if you don’t agree with everything a trans person says, you’re transphobic. Also, the world belongs to them.
Talk about lesser known subjects by the public or make a mistake yourself? Thats it, you’re banned for misinformation and trolling. Or being a nazi or racist or whatever. The words don’t have a meaning anymore
Also the random ban reasons like "Rule 3" which refers to the most open and subjective rules like "Be civil" or "Dont be a dick" or similar
So not "pretty much anything" then.
I thought it was obvious that it was an exaggeration. If you go out of the normal way, according to the mods, well you’re fucked
Well we're disagreeing right now, so logically only one of us can be "the normal way" yet neither of us are banned...
All I did was misgender Kris by calling them a "xir".
They were arguing over gender, and I was feeling like being contrarian...
I guess this is supposed to be ironic?
Sounds like a lot of generalizing. Probably deserved your ban to be honest.
Believe whatever you want. I’m saying that based on my experience.
Yeah, and you made a pretty blanket statement about all trans people, or ig all trans people on Lemmy, based on your experience with like, a handful of people?
If you want an example, I said trans athletes being in man or women categories is a debate and shouldn’t be allowed by default because of inequalities between the individuals, and true equality can never be reached.
I believe the use of "biological men" trigged them when I said that transgender women were that… when I was talking about scientific stuff to make my point.
Super transphobic, watch out! ☢️ -_-
Studies have found the only Olympic events in which trans women might have an advantage over cis women is mid range sprints. There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.
If you want to talk about equality in sports the biggest inequality that affects outcomes is money. Athletes with more money poured into them for training and equipment have a significant advantage over other athletes.
Studies did not find that there’s a lack of advantage as well, therefore why use it as a point? What I meant is that there’s place for a debate on this question.
I’ll have to disagree with you on this. Based on my research I did not find conclusive evidence on this. A sample size inferior to thousands is not sufficient to test anyways.
That’s a well known problem. Sadly, not much we can do to fix it without creating other problems. We’re all unequal on this :(
Oh and also the double standards
You can hope for Musk and Trump or any rich fuck to die, but do this with someone else and you’re banned
