Hi! I came here looking for an alternative to Reddit which is less of a liberal echo chamber. It looks good, even more responsive. But I wonder, how is the moderation here? Biggest problem I have with Reddit is that it is becoming increasingly impossible to have discussions about “sensitive topics”. Even if you are being civil, there is a chance you will just straight out get banned for saying something which liberals do not like. How does Lemmy compare? Thanks.

          Doesn’t matter, even IF that were true, it still doesn’t make it “hate speech”.

            Would you even listen if someone linked peer reviewed research to you? Sounds like you’re just looking for your own echochamber to reinforce your own belief system (which is ironically what you say you’re trying to get away from)

              Dude your whole way of reacting shows exactly what I hate, and want to get away from. You are not even responding to what I said, instead you start going into the trans debate itself because you want to assert your stance so much.

                Yeah, you’re right, I’m going to call out assholes who think trans people don’t have a right to exist. Have fun being a bigot.

                  You don’t seem to realize that this kind of behaviour only makes it worse. Every time something like this happens, I hate the whole thing a little bit more. And that goes for a lot of people, not just me. Do with that what you like.

              I don’t really have a definition for that, it’s a liberal term I think. I think people just have to be civil and not jerks, that’s the basic rule. But if people are going to be sensitive to certain opinions and standpoints, those people are going to want to say that those standpoints are “hate speech”. That is the whole problem.

        So… I’m a centrist who gets crap here for believing everybody raises at least some valid points…

        But fuck off with the homophobic bullshit. This ain’t the place for you. LGBT rights are human rights. End of discussion.

    OP has received their answer, and I don’t think it would be productive to continue this discussion here, so I am locking the post.

    Different lemmy servers have different rules. If you find you do not like the rules of one server you can simply delete your account and make a new account on another server and sign back up for the same communities.

    To view what other Lemmy servers are linked check out the instances page on the footer of each page. example: https://lemmy.world/instances

      In theory that would go for subreddits as well. But that’s not the whole story. I got suspended from ALL of Reddit because of “hate speech”. Not just the subreddit. I think it might be because users reported the comment, but I’m not sure.
