"We should defederate from everything which does not agree with my .world view and create a giant centralized echo chamber"!

Why the fuck does every .world user suddenly want Lemmy to be Reddit?

Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn't seem to want that. If you post something that they don't like (even if it's a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

Most of the users saying this went around screaming the word Tankie all over the place on .ml.

I got instance banned for saying federal democratic republics are a form of democracy.

Edit: I also don't care. I never expected M-Ls to do anything besides M-L things and they don't owe me anything.

Being banned means less of a problem for you - got a reason to ignore them and let them echo chamber however they want.

"Different world views" isn't a problem, the problem is users espousing repugnent "world views" and being assholes.

Pretending like we have to put up with other users' repulsive, insane "ideas" and bullying behavior in our spaces is laughable. Bigots, fascists, and actual tankies can fuck off.

You probably have some views that are repugnent to me, and vice versa. That's freedom of speech and political pluralism.

being assholes.

This though, I agree just ban that user.

Eh..... Lemmy is already a lot like reddit in the very beginning, just more extreme.

I think a big problem with Lemmy is that even the large instances only have a few terminally online posters, so a lot of the communities get warped by those posters biases.

Right now Hexbear is having a little internal conflict between the mods and some posters over the harassment of lgbtq and POC. The mods started out handing out temporary bans to offenders and then people started freaking out because no one was posting shit.
