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.
Judging from all of your comments here, I’d highly suggest that if you keep smelling shit everywhere you go, maybe you should check your shoes.
I seriously can’t fathom coming into a place, badmouthing everyone already there, and then being surprised when they react negatively.
Also, if you want a place without moderators overseeing everything with a fine toothed comb, there are countless *chan sites with minimal moderation (only removal of heinously illegal content). You might seriously have a better experience on one of them if you find lemmy stifling. There’s even a number of them now that allow users to make their own boards for whatever niche topic they want.
But I didn’t badmouth anybody. Not a one.
And it was a perfectly plausible hypothetical with lots of interesting ramifications to explore. Fascinating stuff.
But you people don’t do that. Or rather, the dominant 99% of you don’t do that.
And any sane person who spends any time here talking to you shallow clowns must be truly desperate. I speak from experience.
My fucking sides lmao
