Yes, I think that the idea of having a cop hovering over my conversation, dictating who can talk and what they can say, is abhorrent. I admit it.

So I asked. Discussion happened. Some of it hot. Some of it useful. It was going places.

Then the mod of asklemmy bans the whole show.

The self-awareness of a paramecium, I tell you.

    Nope, didn’t swear. Didn’t get hostile. Didn’t get overly confrontational.

    Getting a rational conversation around here is like herding cats.

      Yeah that’s your perspective. The mod obviously disagrees. And the thing with subjective perspectives, or he-said-she-said is, I can’t tell…

        Yep, you can’t tell.

        Lemmy sucks. Social media sucks. This mob of smugnorant bobblehead zombies sucks big fat rubber donkey dick.

            I’m not saying you’re wrong, BUT every account has to be new for a while. I was called a troll and a russian bot just because I was new.

            Now I’m still called that, but at least it’s not just because my account is new. :)

          Just find a place where you fit. Not everyone is compatible. And people have a different idea of the tone of conversation they like. Especially if they do it for fun. That’s not anyone’s fault. If everyone is against you, I’d say it’s possible that everyone is wrong. Or you yourself are just at the wrong place. You’re making it way too easy for yourself by just blaming everyone else.

              It’s late and I’m watching some boring talkshow. There’s nothing better to do around here 🙃

            No, it isn’t everyone else. I’ve talked to a few non-fucktards here. Refreshing. But the 99% really sucks.

              Yeah, avoid lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and especially communities like AskLemmy and you’ll find other people. I’m not sure if I’d like to advertise for that shithole, but you might want to try 4chan if you like unmoderated conversations and a confrontational shithole. They have a lot of toxic incels vibes, though. And lots of people sound like 9 year olds who like to blast the N-word. Depends a bit.
