What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

I definitely get what you mean and I think the idea that you can get away with no censorship is naive. However, they could just as easily be talking about r/conservatives use of conservative only posts and their banning of anyone sharing opposing viewpoints.

I doubt it. Just the word authoritarianism has been mostly co-opted by the ultra right in American colloquialismz.

I don't know of many people on the left in the US that are complaining censorship.

Idk I feel like I've heard loads of media call desantus and trump authoritarian. The don't say gay stuff is definitely censorship. I think the right just has an obsession with calling out BS censorship.

[–] Discoslugs 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I guess your right. It does it get used by left groups as well. It's just different contexts.

Calling desantus authoritarian is accurate imo.lol

The second I see or hear someone start complaining about cancel culture I just roll my eyes and move on. Telling on yourself.

I think people posting and commenting racist and transphobic stuff should be banned. Full stop. And I'm not afraid to say it.

Do you disagree with this stance?
