What's the point of a FOSS platform like Lemmy when opposing political views get censored? (lemmy.zip)

I know this platform is full of communists, but come on. Stop locking yourselves in an echo chamber.

I think that everyone just by dint of existing should be given what they need to survive and be comfortable by the people who are lucky enough to be able to provide it without detriment to themselves. If they don't do it voluntarily, I also support the democratically elected government intervening to redistribute resources from the 1% to the lower class, and for the government to provide public services in general, such as free public transport, education, medical care. I also support respecting all people regardless of any characteristics of themself which they didn't choose and can't change, and accommodating changes in behaviour which, within reason, make them more comfortable. Also, don't torment and eat non human animals which can't consent and feel pain.

And above all, I support people's right to freely disagree with me, and have discussions, without the danger of groupthink/hivemind-like censorship which only serves to reinforce peoples own biases.

Also, obligatory

If that's what you think as a leftist, I can happily live with you while disagree. On several things, I think I would disagree with you on policy but I would agree with you about the principal. Some other things, we would have to disagree and simply leave it at that, but there would not be any kind of animosity or hostility.

Also based. We need more people like the two of you around here.

I routinely have my accounts deleted because there is no statement I won't challenge or counter even if it means rejecting a person and condemning them but I won't do name calling and pointlessly insulting.
