If making excuses for virulent transphobes is the best of lemmy in your mind, I’m concerned about what would qualify as the worst…

like madlad, woosh, etc

I haven’t used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they’re a Reddit thing, I don’t recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

So yeah, they’re different

One of us, one of us!

New Zealand is about as close as it gets, but even they broke out in to war after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi

I’ll eat pineapple on pizza, but not on a burger.

Pineapple is the reason I don’t order burgers with the lot.

Chaos. I grab eggs at random, without consideration for symmetry!

Why does the general attitude on Lemmy seem to lean toward more censorship and silencing of speech

Because “censorship” in this context is a weasel word. What people complaining about censorship really want, is the ability to be more openly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc. What people pushing back against that want is less bigotry.

But because the bigots can’t own their bigotry, they hide behind “censorship” and not having enough “free speech”.

This is literally youtube saying “The president says that hating on folks is ok, and we will make more money by aligning with that”. It’s not them taking a stance on free speech, because they still block stuff that costs them money. They still demonetise or block things that are supportive of LGBT folk for the flimsiest of reasons, none of which they would do if censorship or free speech were their reasoning.

This has nothing to do with “censorship” and everything to do with a deliberate attempt not to increase free speech, but to shift “allowed” speech to the right

I tried to love it. It’s one of the most feature rich fediverse platforms out there. It has groups built in out of the box, it talks to Diaspora as well as Activitypub… But it’s just… not nice to use.

I wear clipons, because I need prescription glasses, and having to swap from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses back and forth multiple times a day is an ADHD recipe for losing an expensive pair of glasses.

I take my clipons off indoors though, but that’s mostly because it’s really hard to see indoors with them on :P

The last thing lemmy needs is more centralisation on lemmy.world
