I just checked and those rules are wild.
Posting a picture of a slice of cheese without a NSFW tag and a content warning is bannable but calling violence against large groups of people isn’t.
Holy hell that sounds like a parody community made by 4chan.
I just don’t understand them. The users I mean.
We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.
They live in an idolgical bubble where contrary opinions are not tolerated, and dissent is shunned. The only voices they hear are leftist and extreme leftist voices shifting the Overton window of politics in their minds leading to radical beliefs.
It’s important to have your beliefs challenged at times, they lack that. If you can try and listen to voices from opposing view points, maybe even share your own in a respectful manner.
(This isn’t an issue particular to any side of politics, it also occurs in more right wing groups)
I guess I’ve been really surprised at their support for Palestine.
I thought that the left would be less supportive of the more conservative religion
I don’t think they support Palestine as much as they oppose colonialism.
If that’s true it seems very reductive.
They’re trolls. Is most of the world supporting XYZ? We are suddenly against XYZ for reasons! Is someone giving actual real life reasons to support XYZ? We have to reply with emojis!
They’re very gang oriented. Once one of them declares an opinion the rest of them must follow it and defend it no matter what.
Honestly this answer most adequately explains their behaviour.
Good. Fuck all fascists. The allies who fought in WWII were heroes, and the farmers who rape cows are villains. This is a consistent ideology.

Two years ago I told a 16 year old to stop being friends with the person who raped my wife. Raddle believes it is child abuse to tell teens not to hang out with rapists. That’s because the head admin is a rape apologist.
In their general rules:
Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).
Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.
Wow. Just wow. That is so far beyond leftist.
It’s like if Fox News was to create a leftist website. It smells so fake.

Trumps campaign got off the ground from internet memes and satire groups on places like 4chan and reddit. There’s so many idiots out there looking for something to grasp onto and make their identity. You can’t get a satire/parody group too large or it breaths life of it’s own.
Poes law: without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
Nah, they still hate xenogender people and neopronoun users. They’re very real and somewhat liberal.
A lot of the “leftists” on lemmy seem to be pro china radlibs
Oh they would try if it could make more money.

They’re transphobic? That’s almost as bad as being vegan! /s But seriously, I hadn’t known that.

Maybe we should be putting people into cages and harvest and sell their organs… I mean why not ? It’s not like humans are different from animals ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
Well, I’m so glad you volunteered! … No, really. Very glad. Right this way…
I am glad the animals volunteered too! :-)
It’s part of the signing up process. I’ve seen people without them, but it’s very rare. There’s probably a grace period.
That is odd. I usually prefer when people talk with me instead of about me.
No one’s talking about you
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean in relation to what I said.
Were talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.
@qyron@sopuli.xyz says that @qyron@sopuli.xyz would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @qyron@sopuli.xyz’s back.
It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)
Why is being witty the default stance, instead of an honest statement?
Because what you said doesn’t make any sense if you were being serious.
Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.
So it’s easier to say thoim/shlu instead of ekky?
If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.
But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.
Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.
Really think hard about what you are saying. Next time you have a conversation, try mentioning no one else except the person you are talking to and yourself.
Id rather you just stop talking altogether
I usually prefer when people talk with me instead of about me.
Sorry if you didn’t want to know, but: you can’t get rich that way.
Don’t be sorry but I still don’t want to be talked about.
I’m talking about qyron right now, qyron won’t supply us with qyrons chosen pronoun and now I have to say qyron every damn time instead of a nice short common pronoun.
Qyron is making things unnecessarily difficult and shitty. Don’t be like qyron.
Many people don’t wish to be doxxed online. Nobody needs to share something private.
Ahh yes of course I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! If I knew their pronoun preference I could almost attribute that to their registered gender, and that almost lowers my possible targets down to a mere 4,000,000,000.
Phew that is some easy doxxin’
Yes! Now you get!
I have to add this here because you just wrote a gold opportunity for me to mock myself. Can we have signatures in Lemmy? I would make the following as mine. Perhaps a little reviewed for shorter form.
Here is qyron, the most obnoxious example of a person you can find, to the point where making anything and everything harder than necessary becomes a self defining characteristic.
This is an individual that takes pride and pleasure of torturing others just to make a moot point on any front.
Don’t be like this personality. Nobody deserves to be like so.
Reminds me of a woman i know.
SheThat woman could totally have written this. Basically, our conversation after months is still me trying to learnherthat womans language. :-DSounds like a front for disliking trans people
Every person on the face of this planet deserves to be happy. Besides that, nothing to add.
They’re a satire of failed marxist extremists that hate everyone and everything. Just block them and move on.
I don’t paint with such a broad brush. I welcome differing opinions on my social media feed.
