Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?
jannaultheal@lemmy.world 2 days agoAre you familiar with the subreddit /r/changemyview ? I don’t have a topic to discuss right now. But I am against the reddit admins banning a certain topic from being discussed because it’s controversial.
Lemmy admins/mods are even more heavy handed than Reddit ones from what I’ve seen in the mod logs - especially around transgender topics. There is seemingly no discussion allowed, only echo chamber agreement.
Like if you said that you agreed with the UK Supreme Courts ruling on biological sex and sex based spaces, you’d probably be banned for being “transphobic” on many communities and instances here.
on many communities and instances
Bingo!
We have no ambition of being more lenient than Reddit, it's just less centralized. If you want to be a bigot you can find yourself an instance and a community for that, and other people can choose not to be exposed to your bullshit. That's the whole point.
Also, the UKSC judgment is a pseudo-scientific piece of junk. Agreeing with it is a big-ass red flag.
Well yeah; that is a transphobic ruling.
I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.

I haven’t really used reddit since Lemmy almost 2 years ago now, but yes I’m familiar enough with the sub and its concept.
Is it because it’s controversial, or because nobody operates in good faith and uses it to attack trans people?
Because I’m so tired of JAQ offs.
