seems like a lot of people want strict rules and enforcement. bots can do some things like word substitutions and other obvious code-able things. human intervention takes longer. most people can scroll on to posts more to their liking. if there is no community that meets your standards, it's a sign you need to start your own community and mod the way you want. i tend to not post in strictly modded groups. i'm not that pedantic and like groups where down-votes and comments do most of the moderation. spammers get removed soon enough.

I think it's messed up to create these little safe spaces because people want to shield themselves from what's going on in the world. Nobody is forcing them to interact with posts they don't want to see, but it's a different thing altogether to ban and block posts so that these ostrich types don't have to face reality in their doomscrolling drip-feed.

Guys, are we really surprised that America colonised the English-speaking Internet?
Just like reddit I guess
I disagree, fascism is everyone's problem, and ignoring it only gives it power.

Want to post whatever the fuck you want? Join my community: It's a Shit World! (Rules are still in place)
Looks like someone needs a "crying-in-a-fetal-position-while-showering-thoughts" community.
"No politics please" sounds like a great rule until the results of politics kick down your door and black bag you.

When you think about it, Americans are not that different from Arabs in this regard specifically, which is making your own problems everyone elses.

Safe spaces is how we got far right echo chambers to begin with.
Do not shield the weak minded from the troubles of society at large. Ignorance is bliss, and I do not want the ignorant to feel anything like "bliss".
I feel like this whole thing is a coordinated censorship attempt. Look at all the downvotes anyone gets who is opposed to this dumb reddit style moderation.

I think the reason people do this is partially because if their post is allowed to remain that affirms to them that their opinions are so commonplace (at least in some circles) that it is considered apolitical. Being allowed to bend the rules makes them feel less alone
What a bizarre groundless conjecture based on pure vibes.
