Sick of internet moderators and their ego trips. (lemm.ee)

I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It's just thinly veiled echo chambers that don't want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I've ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

Or you could look at the moderation history and my comment history.

I literally directly quoted the most controversial thing I said, they laid out an argument that non vegans are the same as racists because different species discrimination is the same as racial discrimination.

I pointed out that equating different races of humans to different species is "1800s slave owning racist theory if ive ever seen it".

Quote the most controversial thing in my comment history you can find.

Go argue with vegans in the news@lemmyworld instance and see how it plays out for you.

Edit: Apparently, it's messed up to recommend methods of empirical evidence in the face of assumption.

My bad yall, I'll just let the assumptions run next time.

Perhaps English isn't your first language?

… I’m going to reserve judgment …

Except now there's a little bit more judgment because your reply here is pretty indicative of what I was hinting at.

(P.S. "Little bit." Words have meaning in context. Read all of them, please.)
