I’ve said some vile, fucked up shit while I’m having a bipolar depressive episode, but I have yet to get modded for a single thing.
You can basically say whatever the fuck you want, like 4chan. But unlike 4chan, Lemmy hasn’t yet devolved into a cesspool of hate and bigotry. Probably only 'cause the average troll is too stupid to figure out how federation works.
It depends on the instance and mods I think. I got a temp ban from an instance just citing “bad faith” for asking if there was a source article and getting flamed for “standing in the way of the movement”. I accept that the Libre/FOSS space trends towards more niche user bases, and Lemmy is infinitely better than any other alternatives, but sometimes it feels a bit to close to Emo Phillips “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912”.
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
I financially frauded once. I’ve never been penalized for it. That must mean the government is fine with it.
I insulted someone in a game and never got penalized for it, so it must mean the moderators in that game are okay with it.
It’s the same kind of logic, no?
That’s the kind of things that happens. Else I guess I hallucinated a couple times in a row, or I mod removed my posts and banned my account by myself. Must be what happened.
Either everything is moderated and censored, or nothing. No in between can exist.
Seriously, come on, that’s not how it works and you know it as much as me.
And fortunately there are still mods that let you speak, people that don’t report you… but what I describe will end up happening if you have these kind of behaviors or point of view.
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.
Why would I care about what you said to invite derision? The problem, currently, is your attempted usage of derision to discredit an entire group of marginalized people based on your EXTREMELY LIMITED and STATISTICALLY IRRELEVANT experiences.
Boohoo the trans people in the trans community disagreed with me about trans issues and the trans people called me transphobic because I have controversial opinions that I chose to share.
Get over it. Honestly, get over yourself. Grow up.
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.
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.
There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.
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 :(
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.
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.

Weird then. From experience this tends to dissapear quickly. Maybe it wasn’t so bad or no one saw and reported it
Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.

Of course it does. Anyone can start their own instance, if there is an issue it is a problem with that instance, not Lemmy as a whole.
The Internet is not obsessed with speed running just because there exists websites on it obsessed with speed running.
Depends on the things you say, where…
If you’re generally leftist, you should mostly be fine.

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…

That is the argument you were presenting, yes. I’m glad we agree that that is absurd.
Nevermind, here you are making the statement you just argued against.
I didn’t. At this point just throw this in ChatGPT or any good LLM so you can understand what I meant
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.

Super transphobic, watch out! ☢️ -_-

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?
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
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.
I would even go as far as to argue Lemmy is a prime example of this.
And that why federation is good, but it gets annoying having to switch instances or communities
Just like my recent post on r/politics got censored?
I don’t know, I’m not on reddit. And by definition if it’s removed I can’t see it.
Well, I didn’t see it
