Yeah, but you can post truly based opinions on Lemmy without being banned. Such as:

Charlie Kirk deserved it.

That'd get you banned on Reddit.

Not snide, reflective question: What makes you think you can't get banned here?

I've been banned from various areas. I told an instance owner off because he truly deserved it. Banned. I wasn't surprised. I was insta-banned from the Squared Circle community for pointing out the facts supported by data that the AEW program is suffering a documented ratings decline.

Not that you can't get banned, but that you won't. Reddit will ban you because they're conservative-owned and operated, and love censoring any form of dissent. Most Lemmy mods don't give a fuck about your opinions as long as you're not directly calling for violence.

That's not the Reddit I've experienced, I've seen lots of anti-israel posts and comments with lots of upvotes.

Here on Lemmy though I got banned because I disagreed with someone calling North Korea democratic. It was .ml tho and their echo chamber couldn't handle the difference of opinion.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, that's also bullshit. Anything even remotely in favour of Israel will get you banned on a lot of communities. It's just a different flavour of ban reasons.

I'm banned on a load of comms. No idea why and too lazy to look it up. Think I caught some more bans for "fuck Kirk" comments.

Interesting. My political side is far from that of Charlie Kirk and still think that nobody deserves to be punished without a trial, let alone be murdered. Otherwise I fail to spot the difference between two different sides of hate.

Besides, man, that's not a "based opinion". That's plainly bullshit. As I said elsewhere, if you really think the man deserved it, why didn't do it yourself? Cowardice? Lazyness? Or maybe the truth is that you are just pretending to care about some cause?

At least, block is functional here. But I'll happily report your comment first.

He didn't deserve it, but he was certainly fine with it.

[–] Engywuck@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

This is reasonable.

We tried giving the Nazis trials before. It didn't work, they're still here.

Charlie Kirk was a christofascist Nazi, and it's just a shame that it was over quickly, because he deserved to feel it.
