minus-squareSaltyBarDog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·1 day agoI haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”
minus-squareMoonlightFox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·20 hours agoTo be fair, that’s kinda deserved. You could experience the same here. There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected. Glad to have you here though! 😊
minus-squareDontMakeMoreBabies@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-220 hours agoBanning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid. People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them. Hiding from them in a bubble doesn’t make them disappear (and shockingly sometimes they have points to make).
minus-squareMoonlightFox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·19 hours agoHmm… So your argument is that we potentially lose valuable insight? I agree in principle, but it is hard to balance. Because without a certain amount of civility we potentially lose the voice of minorities and oppressed groups of people. In a free democratic country you of course should be legally allowed to be abrasive and say mean hurtful things. How would you balance/solve this dilemma on a social network? The same way as the law? I am a bit torn here
