    some people view censorship as an infringement of their rights, and, sometimes, they’re right.

    some people see reasonable regulation of speech/behavior (especially in communal spaces) as a personal affront and a judgement of the views the hold and positions they espouse— often because their speech/behavior is seen as offensive and unacceptable by society. it reveals not only a deep insecurity, but a acknowledgement that even these people know, deep-down, that what they’re doing is unacceptable and wrong, and that their defense of it is disingenuous because their true motives are, in fact, malicious and hateful.

    I don’t know this person, but I would speculate that, when OP is angry, they like to vent their frustrations at the boogeyman that their peer group has commonly villainized.

    it has been my experience that those who most commonly cry “no censorship!” are those who like to express hate-speech. they also have been taught to blame “democrats” for their woes. there’s a lot of correlation here that I would bet is causative.

    I thought lemmy was anti-censorship

    where in the world did you get this idea? each instance has a clearly-posted ToS/code of conduct in the sidebar, as do most individual communities.

    if you dislike the rules on one instance, you’re free to find another or start your own. many do.
