Comment on Hypersensitive tankie mod

  .ml tends to slap “rule 1” on everything, which says don’t be a bigot, even if that’s obviously not what the comment was about.

  [emphasis mine]

  Sure about that? From what I’ve seen, anything said in disagreement with the predominant opinion over there is deemed “bigotry”. They don’t appear to be interested in ingratiating anyone to the cause.

    … That’s exactly what I said. Or, at least, what I tried to say.

    Some of it is actual bigotry, because this is still the internet, but if they just want to shut someone up it’s also “rule 1”.

      Okay, gotcha, I was looking at it from their point of view, which is that everything to them is bigotry, not realizing that that’s what you were saying in the first place. The bad, it is mine.

  4. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

    No, it’s still rule 1 on .ml. Or are you accusing me of bigotry out of the blue? That would be ironic in this context.

      I’m simply quoting lemmy.ml’s rule 1 in its entirety.

  Maybe. But I also see a lot of 4chan-esque double speak and “Free Speech” concern trolling that’s all the fuck over Reddit constantly without ever getting any kind of take down.

  Reddit admins have automated so much of their policy that you’re posting in a minefield. You don’t know what arcane caveat you’re going to trip over that’ll get you suspended or banned. But you still find yourself hip deep in the most virulent bigoted, war-mongering, and overtly vile comment threads, because older heads know how to tip toe around the trigger words.

    Yeah, both can be true. There’s no way they’re close checking every comment on the instance, looking at the rate of mod actions versus traffic.

    Head over to lemmy.ml and scroll to the mod log link at the bottom if you want to see for yourself. A lot of it is just slightly different views on the same stuff.

      Its a low-pop, low-activity community. If you’re genuinely worried about the evil online leftists, I’d be far more scared of Hexbear than lemmy.ml.

        It’s literally one of, if not the, original community, and it’s the one maintained by Lemmy’s developers. It’s probably smaller than .world, but dwarfs my instance.
