Random transphobia in there can fuck right off
4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they’re also mad they can’t participate in the hate chamber
Eh probably not, I used to get messages all the time saying “Oh you were subscribed to or posted in r/thisbullshit so we went ahead and banned you.” even though I didn’t even remember subscribing to or posting in said subreddit
Also Reddit’s policy is officially that you cannot be banned from one subreddit for something that happened in another. This policy is so god damn ignored, that you’d think it was an officer’s oath to serve and protect.
Third point too in my experience
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit’s tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it’s the latter.
They’re coming from 4chan. It was obvious how it was going to go just by the format of the post, before reading a single word
Sometimes there are surprisingly wholesome/based 4chan posts. Definitely in the minority, though.
Random? That or some other bigoted bullshit was forecast to come from the third sentence.
They really buried the lede with that one, huh.
Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.
If I detect transphobia I realize it’s just assholery.
trouble is, we can all use that method with or without being Trans 😜 stay safe
“Everywhere I go smells like shit.”
Better check your shoes for dog shit!
Had me until the transphobia
It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.
He’s active on right-wing hate subs, so he’s banned from the remaining civilized subs.

seriously? there was some whiny obnoxious shit there way before the transphobia
these people think women can have dicks
There it is. I was suspicious of this person’s politics from the “virtually every topic known to man”.
Yup, I saw that first part and thought, “Ahh, 4chan, where people think reddit is too woke.”
So close to being a sensible rant until the transmysoginy
Fake: anon hates reddit because they have jargon (every language has it)
Gay: women can and do have dicks, gtfo with transphobia
The jargon thing is pretty rich coming from the most jargon-dense place on the internet
I mean… /d/
The fact anon used IPA as an example in the context of “acronyms they had to go look up the meaning of” says a lot about them, ngl.
The tacked on casual transphobia finishes painting the picture of the sorta person they are.
I was confused when I read the transphobia part, then I remembered this was 4chan and cringed
Yeah everyone knows about the IPA
“I was sucking my wife’s cock the other day, and it reminded me of this International Phonetic Alphabet I had recently!”
I’ve had that kind of sex lol.
Never fuck a linguist.
The only linguists I’ve fucked are cunnilinguists. But I do fuck nerds with adhd…
But they are so good with their mouths!
The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well… reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they’re all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
Hey, some of us are stupid with tech too! 😤
Finally, I feel seen.
If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.
I think you replied to the wrong guy, but thanks anyways.
I did indeed but I’m glad you saw it because you put exactly how I’ve felt about Lemmy into words.
I’d like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.
Huh I never thought of Burr as a modern Carlin but actually that checks out.
and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
Well, that’s me fucked, where too now ?
Lemmy is more liberal than left, that’s my problem with it. You will get hate for saying very reasonable opinions just because it goes against certain narratives. Better yet, just spit straight facts and you will still get hate, like this: economic class matters more than race for nearly all aspects of life, and a considerable number of primarily-racial factors would also be solved by eliminating poverty and reducing overall inequality.
Now watch the comments roll in.
Yup, I mean read the other replies justifying murder under this comment and being upvoted. It’s fucking insane.
dumb comment tilting at windmills, the amount of people posting opinions like the ones you’re thinking about are dwarfed by everyone else
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be “just right” if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn’t even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the “enemy team” and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.
Well, it’s a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.
Hey, they’d finally be useful for something!

Please, I can only get so wet!

Well, physical violence against fascists is always justified. First they will come for the radicals, then they will come for the moderates, then they will come for the rest, and there’ll be nobody left.
The only good fascist is a dead one. That is my view.
The irony is that
Fascism views forms of violence – including political violence, imperialist violence, and war – as means to national rejuvenation.
Wikipedia
Making you no better than them. Thanks for proving my point, though.
Found the fascist.
The person with Taalnazi as their username?
You must think the Nazis were socialists.
Taal is Dutch for ‘language’, just saying. The name was picked to mock people who police language and expression, like those that prohibit discussing LGBT issues and being in favour of them.
I get it, you are morally superior to us all.
Yes, yes. You’re a South Park loving nihilist who believes in nothing and thinks everyone else must share your complete lack of morals and empathy. Both sides are same, and you have a lot of problematic opinions about trans people. Your kind is easy to spot a mile away.
Ah, the “Hitler drinks water, so that means everyone who drinks water are fascists” fallacy. Took you long enough.
Dude, I didn’t call anyone a nazi. I just called out hypocrisy.
I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.
Sir this is Lemmy. People are even more up their butts here than Reddit
I’ve had the fortune to post on niche micro-imageboards like that, irreverent but not hateful.
They just have to stay small otherwise the classic issue of “Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company” arises and now you can’t post pictures of black people without a chance of triggering the trolls.
The age old battle between “I think It’s funny because It’s true” against "I think it’s funny because it’s not true and absurd "
It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I’d be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
rational moderation is a pipedream
It isn’t. The baseline could be straight up illegal comments (defamation, threats, extortion, etc.) and some generally accepted rules among most worldviews on top of that.
Stupidpol describes itself as “Subreddit focused on critiquing capitalism and identity politics from a Marxist perspective” and I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Despite being primarily Marxist, rightoids and libs are allowed to post so long as they flair themselves, and censorship is kept to a minimum (mostly just removal of anything that gets Reddit admins involved).
Surely thats your own lemmy instance ? other instances can federate or defederate as they want (or piefed)
I am poor and don’t call me Shirley.
there used to be a /leftypol/ somewhere but it was all Stirnerists for some reason
Ummm this is actually so toxic and disrespectful. People on the left care about and advocate for marginalised people and so adding humour to them is a pretty bad look sweety. I think, respectfully, you should delete this now. And maybe catch up on some of your leftist reading… This comment gives me pretty yikes vibes…
I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.
I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.
I got banned because I said “1 like = 1 wank” in r/entertainment about a pornstar that had died. I thought it would be fitting but I guess I was wrong.
I would think most porn stars would find that funny. I know I would if I died and someone said that.
I feel less bad about my ban the more I hear about other bans, because I realize the problem is Reddit, not me.
because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week
Implying it wasn’t pre-arranged. Brother probably comes in like “hey baby -tips fedora- I just got back from my dog walking job and now I smell like at least 6 golden retrievers” and the mod’s wife’s panties drop because the brother has a job.
This is even worse on Lemmy.
Can’t wait till I see the greentext screenshots from 4chan about trying Lemmy only to discover it’s just Reddit. This site is the ultimate “we’re not Reddit!”
Looks inside
Reddit
More niche and somehow more circle jerk
But at least federated 🤷
Turns out when you give full autonomy to the users they double down on being cringe. And I’m here for it, love y’all.
Bro is posting this transphobic garbage on 4chan like they didn’t all want to suck girlcock there too 🙄
As AVGN once put it, it’s like choosing the dog shit that is all mushy and wet that has been in the shade all day, vs. the dog shit that has dried out in the sun across the street. Yes, the dried out dog shit is still better to step in, but it is still dog shit.
On a note regarding relationship advice, that’s so fucking true and I was always being downvoted there for pointing that out. I wonder how many relationships got broken because of Reddit’s advice on some of the minor and normal relationship problems that could be solved by talking it out instead of “that’s a red flag just dump them bro”.
I’ve found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).
PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory’s on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).
2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don’t need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
Don’t suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?
Asking about it was literally my first post on here. It would probably be against the rules, because a big part of it is making fun of national stereotypes and it might look racist, if you didn’t know what’s going on. I recommend checking it out on reddit. I think you’ll quickly realize why it would be a problem here and you also run the risk of people taking it literally and attracting the wrong crowd.
So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at !2westerneurope4u@lemmit.online (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).
!2westerneurope4u@reddthat.com looks more active. I’ll take a peek at it this weekend.
Never ask 2westerneurope4u what they think about Sinti and Roma or eastern Europeans.
I don’t think most of them have a problem with eastern europe (except russia maybe).
They are an ethnicity. To the extent that you can trace Romaní ancestry in people. They have multiple related languages across Europe. This isn’t a lifestyle, it’s an ethnicity.
Seems like I got my facts wrong, corrected my comment. Although there was still some truth to it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itinerant_groups_in_Europe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people They are very explicitly an ethnic group associated with a lifestyle. Not just a lifestyle.
