Hi! I came here looking for an alternative to Reddit which is less of a liberal echo chamber. It looks good, even more responsive. But I wonder, how is the moderation here? Biggest problem I have with Reddit is that it is becoming increasingly impossible to have discussions about “sensitive topics”. Even if you are being civil, there is a chance you will just straight out get banned for saying something which liberals do not like. How does Lemmy compare? Thanks.

    Yes, that would be civil. It’s just an opinion. It is not attacking or name calling.

    But let me ask you this: if you agree with all this, why did you come here then? Reddit would be great for you then, no?

          So you truly believe whether or not someone is allowed to exist is an opinion and not a right?

            What is a right? We are talking about opinions vs. facts. Yes, it is your opinion that people have the right to do or have something or not.

              And if that thing is life you believe it is the personal opinion of others that is the final decider?

              Are you an American?

          Yeah… You’re not going to have a good time with expressing those kinds of views here or through most of the Fediverse. Most of us are not willing to tolerate proto-genocidal opinions, which is what you appear to be espousing, drawn to its logical conclusion.

            So you’re saying that liberals can’t avoid thinking in absolutes? Which means I just have to accept that discussions with them are impossible? I know there are exceptions though, you already seem to be better than most.

        I do not want a safe haven, I want a place where things can be discussed freely. But what is your answer to my question? Why do you or why do liberals come here if it is not about the politics?

          I didn’t realize liberals must congregate on Reddit. I must have missed that memo.

          I left Reddit for many reasons, and I don’t owe you an explanation on any of them.

          Well you can discuss everything here - as long as you stay civil. There are not even worthless internet points to lose. But from what I’ve read from your comments here, you will face different opinions and you may should thinking about them and your own, too
