Yeah my main is actually on sopuli. I mentioned regional instances that seem fine to me tbh but I feel like being in them immediately makes some people act weirdly hostile - which makes me think that ok, maybe there’s some drama I’m not aware of (followed by feeling very old and tired).
Pray tell what great offense did I give to LGBTQ folk? By mentioning that the blahaj instance (which highlights their LGBTQ inclusivity) hates tankies (which I base on the fact that one of their more active communities has “fuck tankies” on the top of the page) and rightoids (based on their server rules that promise that “bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice”)? I didn’t say one even half-way negative thing about LGBTQ people.
But thanks for providing an example of why this place is like walking on egg shells I guess.
Oh that’s good news! Thank you!
Oh yes, and I’ve actually read more of it than just the meme that goes around.
Because of people like you tbh. You immediately went to check my post history as some kind of a purity test and by your perspective, I failed that. Yet, making a fresh account on Lemmy is easy and in general this place is just one very tiny step away from anonymous posting. I rather lean into that anonymity as a feature, and people who don’t like it may then ask themselves how much they really value privacy, free speech, safety and whatever else - or do they just want a space where they are the ones who make the rules. The more they want the latter, the more closed off and authoritarian community they want. I know where I stand and I rather take responsibility for my own experience in so far as possible - which includes guarding my peace by using burner accounts for anything that could even remotely be considered controversial. Like this post.
yes, fascism is well known for it’s tolerance for diversity.
No I’m all for users managing their own experience. And to that end what I’d like to see is the ability for users to ban whole instances. What I don’t like is instances blocking other instances because of some vague online drama or ideological differences. Like Beehaw blocking lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works as if creating an account on most of the Beehaw-approved instances was very hard. This kind of admin overreach is what is putting me off from investing in Lemmy in general.
(I get blocking instances that distribute very illegal stuff though)
I did caricaturize lemmy.world as well, with as much info as I had. Yours is probably also as accurate as it gets from your perspective. Don’t think for a moment that I’m attached to lemmy.world in any way.
Sorry, didn’t mean to say you did. But someone else might, in a different situation. You got my point though.
I actually didn’t know “ultra” on this context already had a meaning. Which illustrates my point: I don’t follow all this closely enough to be aware of every nuance and may easily say something that turns out to give great offense to those that do. Like I said, I don’t want this egg shell walking. In fact I make a point of avoiding politics in social media now because it’s exhausting and I rather put my energy somewhere where I can see and feel the impact of my actions.
I mean i expect that behavior seeing as creating alts takes 0 effort. It’s honestly why I use a lot of alts myself - in case i piss someone off, I don’t have to worry about getting harassed if I can just burn the account.
Ok, thank you. Many of those are… self-explanatory.
Thank you!
You’re right, I meant to write blahaj hates rightoids.
Brainfart, you’re right
Oh that’s a bit helpful, thank you! Though it still would be nice to see which instance are being blocked.
It’s almost as if I wrote right on the top that this isn’t my main account.
Philosophy related stuff. Which is exactly the kind of thing that’s risky to talk about in the wrong instance.
The irony.
