Guessed as much with the wave of censorship many people, including myself, noticed and shared, pretty much exclusively to anti-MAGA opinions, and regardless of them being constructive and objective.
That, and the increase in bot activity in european and canadian subreddits, to the point it felt there were more pro-MAGA’s demotivating and belittling people trying to make a change, than actual europeans or canadians.
It’s one thing to not agree with my opinion, it’s a-ok with me and everyone has a right to it. I even agree with moderating extreme and violent statements when necessary. It’s another thing entirely to censor my opinion because you don’t like it. And on a forum like Reddit that’s inadmissible.
Nuked my account, changed to Lemmy and never looked back. And I’m happy for it. If you can’t take my opinion without trying to take my voice away I’ll just leave you alone in your echo chamber.
While I obviously support and use lemmy:
You DO realize that lemmy has even fewer protections against bots and no vetting of instance owners (or even mods on those instances), at all, right? The big difference is that there won’t be a news post about “special interests” controlling discourse on here.
And a distressing number of tankies in many prominent instances.
Pressured? Steve probably gleefully offered to suck his dick in exchange for Musk acknowledging his existence.
I got warned and banned on Reddit for mentioning elols name, fuck Reddit it has become shit.
I got banned like 4 years ago for posting that if you have a chance to punch a nazi, you should always punch the nazi.
People inciting violence should be banned 100%.
Back in my day, Nazi skinheads loved to be punched.
Skinheads were never Nazis. My god… The ignorance…
Fuck that noise. When Hitler comes knocking, you shoot first.
Hitler is dead.
