May I have permission to speak? (lemmy.world)

Hello. I currently don't know of a place that tolerates me speaking. Some explicit reasons I'm given are that I'm male-homosexual, and that I'm ethnically/racially indeterminate/intolerated. It's common for people to be violent toward me. I'm wondering if I'm permitted to speak here? (My profile has some more information that may be triggering.)

Anybody's permitted to speak here, unless they behave like complete asses.

Keep in mind that where the community is hosted does affect it. Lemmy.world, where both you and this community are hosted, has good moderation, so don't worry.

On lemmy.ml, it is forbidden to say that there is something wrong about genociding Uyghurs or Lenin, and you might get your comments removed or yourself banned if you break that rule there. Similarly, there have been situations elsewhere where you are not allowed to talk bad about genociding Palestinians.

But if you encounter that kind of trouble, just concentrate your activity on communities hosted on instances that are okay with your existence.

I think phrasing what's non-permissible as "like complete asses", though common phrasing, can be affronting here, because the rear is special/welcome within male-homosexuality. Of course it's being used in a figurative sense, though I think it's worth saying because the connotation carries over.

I don't support any genocide. There is the 'first precept' in Buddhism to abstain from killing of any being. I raise awareness for preventing/ceasing widespread killing/harm of animals & nature in general.
