Apparently there’s an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

    A statistic can be factual and tell a misleading or incorrect story. A study can be flawed or one could say x and be shared while another says y and is ignored. And these can all be used together to push

    …opinions. Often this can be employed to push opinions that a consensus of people determine is harmful.

    This is an Internet forum not a debate hall, so people are in no way owed to be rhetorically dueled with a riposte of links and citations.

    If a community decides it’s not a place to debate the merit of trans people existing and being accepted (or any other topic), it has that right.
