Of the examples they gave I really think only Fisuxcel’s tranny faggot comment was ban worthy. And even then he’s not even a admin here and lemmy world could have just deleted his community.

Maybe Wiggle hards sodom and gomorrah reference post (of which I lold) But I mean that is a mainstream religious view whether they like it or not.

I suggest in the future admin’s keep their edgy content on alt accounts and in communities that pussy instances can just block.

In this way federation may work a little better.

On the one hand, fuck lemmy world. On the other hand, instances defederating hurts everyone so I do think it is our responsibility to work with them a little bit if they can be reasonable about it.

I take full responsibility for my Biden Pedo post which was featured. Biden is a Pedo but it was animated and perhaps I could have tagged it nsfw.

      When I was first taught about using the internet for school research back in the late 90s, they told us to not believe everything we read because anyone can publish whatever they want. It was an accepted fact and you were taught how to do your own research. The early internet was the wild west. Nowadays people act like misinformation online is a new thing and they want site moderators and even the government to censor anything deemed misinformation, AKA anything that goes against their opinions.

      Its crazy how things changed in the last 10-15 years. This old College Humor video is an interesting look back at the flame war comment sections of the late 2000s It used to be that we didn’t take stuff so seriously online, even on Reddit back in the day you could call OP a fag and not get banned. It seems these days the people who call themselves tolerant are the most intolerant. I thought Lemmy world and similar sites were going to be more like the early days of Reddit, but its clearly turning into current Reddit. If these people want heavy censorship and mods that close threads because people can’t “behave”, why don’t they just go back to Reddit.

        thanks for the video link! That song is hilarious. I totaly agree I had the same thought that we might get less censorship but it seems worse on most instances. For people that claim to hate intolerance they shure are pretty damn intolerant of opposing views.

        I remember watching that CollegeHumor video back in the day. Damn, I miss that era of the internet. Everyone just saying whatever retarded shit they wanted without a care in the world.

      No it’s actually how most non-americans look at you right-wing nuts in the States. And then you still think it can’t be about you guys being racist, homophobic and calling people slurs. “No it must be political oppression, damn leftists”.

      Your brain so smooth you can’t get hurt, everything just slides off.
