Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

MODERATORS
 

I was recently banned from the subreddit, r/Robinhood for making a comment about Robinhood's shady practices. I quoted their own rule, "Don't be you", calling them hypocrites, and received a 7 day ban from Reddit the following day.

How can we draw attention to Reddit supporting a subreddit whose very rules promote and protect intolerance and harassment?

I encourage you to message Reddit directly and report this community.

Oh, we understand plenty. The insanity of mods regarding the lack of transparency or consistency of upholding rules is why we branched out. The bots and API bullshit are we don’t go back.

Avoiding being a circlejerk of complaining about Reddit is why we mostly avoid the topic.

I guess I’m confused because there’s a lot of circlejerking about conservatives and their ideaologoes in this community, and this “Don’t be you” rule falls in line with the exact same anti-LGBTQ2A+ rhetoric that conservatives follow.

Bringing attention to a community that promotes and protects intolerance seems like something this community would be interested in, but I can understand if you just want to move on like a bad breakup.

Here at lemmy.world?

As far as I know, the fediverse, in general, is mostly center/slightly left, not counting things like the socialist, commie, or tankie instances.

Also, some of the big ones are fairly USA centered and it’s a general election year. So, everyone is fighting about it. But the fact that it's a fight means there is more than one opinion.

If you're complaining about Reddit, idk what to tell you. I haven’t been there in ages.

I was referring to this Leftist sub specifically being interested in trying to shut down an intolerant, toxic, conservative leaning community. Maybe this is better suited for a social justice community, but I haven’t found one. Do you know any?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I must have missed that. Most just talk about ignoring or defederating.

I haven’t looked for any social justice centered instances. I’m mostly here to find memes and I won’t go to toxic sites like iFunny or Reddit to get them anymore.

Haha for sure. Happy meme hunting! What’s ur fav meme community/instance?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s really sporadic here.

The Star Trek ones are the only consistent output.

Haha I’ll keep an eye out for some good memes
