    Lemmy’s not anonymous. Having accounts banned from communities is not no risk, especially if you lazily want to just use one account on the site.

    Stating opinions that are deemed against/negative towards certain niche groups can translate into rule violations – rule 4 specifically states anything deemed transphobic is a rule violation. You quite literally cannot discuss any non-overtly positive viewpoint of any of the groups listed in that rule, without potentially pissing off at least a few people, who would report it and result in a ban. If they get you to reply a few times in a thread, mods are within their rights to ban the person holding the non-majority view based on ‘multiple’ rule violations.

    Asking to have a conversation about those topics openly, is just baiting people into getting banned.

      Nope. Not buying a word of this crap. It is annonymous. An account is meaningless, you can create another one at a different instance.

      You made a claim, I am calling bullshit.

      Maybe you simply are trabsphobic.

      Rereading what you said, “Lemmy leans left”, yeah you just might be, that’s exactly the kind of crap that is telling.

        So I’ve gotten a handful of upvotes, and about 3x more downvotes, on my initial comment highlighting this bias / trend. So about 1/4 of the people who ‘voted’, generally seem to agree with me – that seems to re-affirm my note that lemmy leans left on this subject in general, and that I’m not alone in this viewpoint.

          So? Votes? Who cares. Again you going to say something or just be inflammatory?

          Who cares what Lemmy “leans”. I don’t give a fuck why do you?

          Got something to say or not?

            So, you care, considering you’d just used it in a prior response to question my stance / position. Part of that position notes that I care, because user content rules means that if a platform leans left or right, it can become an echo chamber silencing even moderate positions – which was a pretty big part of my initial comments, that you’ve cared enough about to bait me for multiple replies.

            I’ve already provided you with my reasoning for not replying in detail. I’m not changing my position on that front just because you decide to pester me. I’mma just go ahead and stop replyin now too, since you either don’t seem to get the point, or you seem to just be trying to bait a reportable offense.

              This isn’t bait. This is telling you that you are having a non convversation. Its telling you that it doesn’t matter what you say.

              You continue to try and be nice and them pull the right, left nonsense.

              Either you are a decent person or not. I assume you are not because there is no reason to say what you believe in. Nothing can be lost by doing so. So you beliefs are so heinous that it is not a right left thing, because that’s all it can be.

              I don’t know why you commented on the first place.

              Its annonymous. There is no consequences. You are baiting or trolling at this point.

              In a way it’s a shame, because chances are you or someone else could learn something. Maybe even me.

              Besides you aren’t going to get banned. You might have a comment removed at worse case.
