Can’t talk about trump, but go ahead and talk about Biden as much as you want
Then they don’t vote and NEVER figure out that they were manipulated into inaction, they were given that extra nudge to sit and stay home on Election Day.
Turns out hating on conservatists and praising ceo killers is too much of a popular opinion for that sub, is that what they want to say?
Well thank gawd they’re here to make sure the ruling oligarchs don’t feel the slightest shred of the anxiety that us poors feel 24 hours a day.

What if I want to make an unpopular opinion on Luigi from the Super Mario Bros series?
Who is this Liugi Mangonie?
He’s the guy who killed Brain Tomphson.
No he didn’t. He was with me 10.000 miles away at the time.
It’s true, I saw them.
you saw me with danekrae?!
That was you? You’re a good smoocher
This is true. I was also there. The three of us were making passionate, sloppy smooches.
Is there any other Squidward I should be aware of?
Heothey guy they’re claiming did.
Innocent until proven guilty. Don’t do their work for them
That was the COO of that Untied Hatecare, right?
*allegedly
I don’t see The Adjuster there 😏
Reddit mods being power tripping cucks as usual.
That part is the exact same and worse here. Lemmy is not really decrentralized, it’s just fractured. Each community still have just one “big one” by design.
Difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can legit say “I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and expect it to make an impact.
Whereas with Reddit, whatever Spez says is law, even if it’s as consistent as bird shit on a car windscreen.
“I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and it will have the same systemic structure that perpetuates underhanded unaccountable shadow moderation and the concentration of power into the hand of a few individuals who just happened to be at the right place at the right time and cannot realistically be avoided or dislodged until an absolutely monumental fuckup on their part that it can’t be ignored.
It’s becoming clear that Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as. And this NFT rigamarole certainly isn’t going to be that either.
Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.
Instances are moderated by their moderators. Other instances that would rather not associate with a different instance can withdraw federation. I think the system works fine.
Do you know how shit Lemmy could be if some hexbear tankies could come into your community and brigade it until they’ve banned half the users?
Or the flipside, it’s a process that involves weeks of voting and you’ve got CP plastered all over the front page while you wait to reach enough votes to trigger its removal.
Moderators exist to fill a role, that is the need for immediate action. Communities should be involved in decision making around rules, but you need people on hand to take responsibility and keep shit running. The benefit of Lemmy is that if you don’t like it, you can go create your own instance or community, without being subjected to a singular owner; that’s the issue it was solving, not your terrible one.

Aren’t you just describing Lemmy?
Content discovery is fully in the hands of the users, and content moderation is both crowd-sourced and transparent.
Upvotes, downvotes, and reports are all forms of crowd sourced moderation. The modlog is transparent and auditable. What are you on about?
Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as.
Marketed? Lemmy is not a company and there is no marketing department. Generally, what you know about Lemmy is word of mouth from people who used it before you. No one controls the narrative in the end.

Some of those are understandable to be banned from Unpopular Opinion because they’re actually quite popular opinions. 🤷🏻♂️
“I believe Brian Thompson was actually a pretty cool guy”
DISCLAIMER: I in no way actually think this. This is just an example of one of those banned subjects being used correctly in that sub.
Freedom of speech absolutists
The party of Freeze Peach has a lot of trouble dealing with people’s opinions.
What Party?
Mario Party?
the uniparty
Lets be honest it’s not like lemmy is any different, just on the other side of the fence. Probably even worse.
lemmy wasnt always like this. we got the worst of reddit coming in like they invented the federal universe.
federal universe.
Did you just make that up?
Consider a better instance.
