YouTube? Deleted comment. Twitter? Banned, Reddit? Shadow banned and blocked Xbox live? You get kicked out online mode despite you are PAYING for it. You can’t express your anger or hate towards other people without some kind of freedom.

No I’m not saying that RACISM or serious accusations should be allowed, but a simple “fuck u” gets you eliminated. Is depressing.

    Most of the people that I’ve met who habitually reach for “fuck you”, frame it as a question or an argument. Which is arguably worse. And somewhat common. Well, common in the conversations that I like to have.

      And yet it seems most people avoid spaces that have the conversations you like to have.

      Here, try an experiment. Run a Lemmy server with the rule that you can say what you like within the bounds of law. See how many users come to your space. I’ll bet for sure you’ll be bigger than even lemmy.world what with all the people who want to habitually reach for “fuck you” that are being so unnecessarily repressed by so-called civil society!

      You’ll sure show us, won’t you!

        See, now you are saying “fuck you”, and framing it all snarky, “You’ll sure show us, won’t you!”. That’s actually worse than “fuck you”.

        I think that the problem might actually be bullshit. There’s a ton of “fuck you” going around but it’s disguised, so it can’t be rationally addressed, but we still feel it, the awfulness, so to escape the awfulness we subconsciously slide into these safe conversations, where conflict and the invisible yet toxic fallout don’t exist. But the safe conversations are not very satisfying.
