I’m a dude, but I frequently browse BadWomansAnatomy. I was having a (calm, respectful) debate with a few users regarding how a lot of people that have “transitioned” still bear hallmarks of their former gender (I mentioned one of my long time friends who has gone from MTF and still looks the same. Kaitlin and Elliot are also good examples). The ban was because I dared to use the “dead names” of Elliot Page and Kaitlin Jenner! Oh the horror! 😱
I went to post in /r/rant how I just thought it was ridiculous and it was autoremoved because I mentioned the world “mod” in the title and I mentioned a specific community 🤣
Same thing happened on my old account, no content after blocked everything that annoys me. Don’t want to hear about how much you hate cars in every single thread, it’s boring
Other problem is no matter what you post it gets downvoted, and that’s why when I get access to reddit again I’ll bail on lemmy because there’s no chance of it growing. This is like leftist 4chan and it’s tiresome to post here; never going to get new people this way
Honestly you hit the nail on the head with the “leftist 4chan” bit. I’m not someone who chases up votes or anything, but I do like when I see my comments resonate with other people and get the “agreement vote.” That doesn’t happen here.
Especially in the gaming communities of Lemmy the users are so hateful towards literally any upcoming “AAA+” game that gets posted about. Like you can’t even say you think something looks fun without a bunch of people just coming to downvote you or give you shit for daring to announce that you’re excited for something new.
