I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It’s just thinly veiled echo chambers that don’t want to admit what their community is about.
This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I’ve ever seen it lmao.
I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.
It seems to me that amzd compared speciesism to racism, specifically to condemn speciesism, and by extention factory farms. Not to condone racism.
This is a direct quote from them that this is based on.

Here is the start of this specific comment chain that you are debating my response to.
But now that I’ve hammered down to the point of the matter, you want to posture that I’ve lost the comment chain.
The claim I was challenging was that it was racist in the first place. That’s all I was doing in this thread.
And that kind of discussion would go in the relevant thread, in the sub I’m banned in.
I’m not here to debate the validity of cherry-picked statements from the dude who says human races are like different species.
