On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back
Can you just not? One of the reasons I love this place other than for the marxism and such, is because they don’t allow transphobia and I am sick of constantly seeing transphobia everywhere, especially online. I’m trans, and just seeing the casual transphobia everywhere just like, it weighs me down, makes me depressed. I also don’t like being harassed either for being trans unless you think people wanting the right not to be harassed is an “echochamber” to?
youre entirely entitled to excluding them from your safe space, but arguing for the exclusion of any ideas and discussion right of stalin and then acting like youre doing it for the sake of preserving ideas and discussion is silly
in the exact same way that a rightoid site banning those damn libtards to preserve open dialogue would be moronic
People here have gotten and answered good faith questions over the past week. It’s when people roll in accusing us of being genocidal monsters and go for dunking over dialogue that the ban hammer gets used.
no, i distinctly didnt say anything about moderating transphobia___
Let me clarify a little. When you say “can i just have my little echochamber please” belittling, it makes me feel like you want anyone to come here, like reactionaries and for them to say whatever they want to more or less. In which it will just be used as an entry point by reactionaries and the rest to bring all that reactionary stuff over here, bog things down and bring transphobia or racism and such. I’m not exactly sure how to word exactly what I mean right now but I’ll quote Lenin since it feels relevant to what I am trying to poorly say. I think misterslime12 linked comic says it best to.
From “What Is To Be Done?” by Lenin.
if reactionaries are what you lot are actually talking about im perfectly sympathetic
im less than convinced that thats the case though considering the response this place has had to anything right of china and russia have done no wrong ever
I’m gonna stop engaging since it feels like I shouldn’t reply, I’m also really sleepy and I might be poorly articulating myself again, but I just want to say like. No one here literally thinks China and Russia are perfect countries that has done no wrong. That just ideological nonsense and not grounded in reality. You can find criticism of Russia or China on here if you use the search here. I saw a discussion on here about criticism of Stalin weeks ago. Along with that, said criticism are informed and not influenced by western or anticommunism propaganda or capitalist propaganda. There is a ton of western and anticommunism propaganda out there. Like seriously there a ton.
But to add, no country is perfect, there gonna be mistakes. However what tends to happen is like. The west tends to make mountains out of mole hills, twists what actually happen or makes non-existent things that never even happen, see Radio Free Asia that’s ran by the CIA. Another example, the United States said how Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but they didn’t, yet people still trust the U.S or it’s media that pushed it? Why wouldn’t the United States and western media also mislead/lie about Russia or China to?
Another issue with “criticism” of these places is that a lot are unfounded and are used to push imperialism, capitalism, and colonialism and their apologia. The U.S accusing Iraq of having WMD’s is an example of that to, as it help pushed for an invasion into Iraq. There are plenty of other examples out there to, too many to count.
