    The comment might be controversial, but it shouldn’t be a bannable offense.

        Sure, the weak of heart need solace in these dark times, where anyone might have a different opinion than their own.

        But, seriously, you’re right that ‘crap I don’t want to hear’ should totally be handled by individuals making that choice, rather than mods banning people.

          I’m a huge advocate for blocking people on social media. When there’s someone you don’t feel like dealing with, don’t.

          What I take issue with is when it’s not a personal decision and rather a mod/admin decides that nobody should hear what this guy has to say.

            Honestly we should ban communism on non communism communities. However I’ll settle for just ignoring them.

            Banning someone for not having radical beliefs is just silly. We should boycott lemmy.ml as they are effectively a propaganda machine. (Try to switch to small instances)

                  What part of Communism is incompatible with Liberal Democracy?

                  Why is Liberal Democracy the only acceptable form of Democracy?

                    Communism requires a centralized control of the economy and thus is not liberal

                    Liberal Democracy is the only form of government that rules by consent of the governed.

              I don’t personally think it should be banned. I find it fascinating to be able to encounter people with wildly differing ideas to mine. I switched instances aswell because the previous one didn’t federate with lemmygrad and hexbear.
