YouTube? Deleted comment. Twitter? Banned, Reddit? Shadow banned and blocked Xbox live? You get kicked out online mode despite you are PAYING for it. You can’t express your anger or hate towards other people without some kind of freedom.

No I’m not saying that RACISM or serious accusations should be allowed, but a simple “fuck u” gets you eliminated. Is depressing.

          Yes, because I didn’t insulted you or said anything offensive towards ANYONE here. You missed the point completely

            Then clarify your point. All you have done is post about how you can’t swear at someone or be hateful towards them. And immediately proved the point why it’s not considered acceptable but somehow you’re missing the irony

            Thought you didn’t care?

              If my experiences have taught me anything, it’s that the act of caring is gradient. Sometimes it’s for the sake of onlookers that it occurs. I don’t strictly encourage insults, but the real enemy so-to-speak is escalation.

              I literally said there’s a difference in my post between pure nasty accusations or racist and justified anger. You came here with a provocation that’s completely senseless.

                It’s very interesting how you are instantly wanting nuance and understanding when you are on the receiving end. Do you really not see the hypocrisy here?

          The idea is to have freedom of expression AND to exercise it intelligently. It isn’t an either-or. Or it shouldn’t be.

                  Most of the people that I’ve met who habitually reach for “fuck you”, frame it as a question or an argument. Which is arguably worse. And somewhat common. Well, common in the conversations that I like to have.

                  • And yet it seems most people avoid spaces that have the conversations you like to have.

                    Here, try an experiment. Run a Lemmy server with the rule that you can say what you like within the bounds of law. See how many users come to your space. I’ll bet for sure you’ll be bigger than even lemmy.world what with all the people who want to habitually reach for “fuck you” that are being so unnecessarily repressed by so-called civil society!

                    You’ll sure show us, won’t you!
