lol, I never said that. You can say whatever the hell you want and I couldn't care less. But expressing an alternate opinion on Lemmy does come with most people shunning you and calling you a bootlicker, which from what I've seen only discourages diversification. But I guess that's a good thing for you guys? Haha

Naw lemmy for the most part is pretty cool. If you're getting called out for being a bootlicker by a bunch of replies, it probably means you are one. Which you are, btw.

[-] zfirerose@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Case in point. Lemmy is pretty cool if your opinions align with theirs.

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Thats not right. Just because i think lemmy is cool doesnt mean its because my opinions align well. In fact i talk a lot of dumb shit and get down voted all the time. Im actually one of the more drunk assholes who post on here.

As I said, in my very first sentence. So... good?

You: I wish I were free to have an independent opinion...

Them: Your "freedom" is the right to stfu and agree with what I say...

Like, !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com exists if people want to chat about overthrowing stuff. "Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting... [etc.]". Meanwhile, Rule #1 of !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world states "Be Respectful", and Rule #5 is "No Enciting Harassment" so... I guess mods shouldn't follow the rules then, b/c facts don't matter?

Then they will get mad that people choose the bear (Reddit) over the man (bEcAuSe We'Re SuCh NiCe PeOpLe ThO).

I have noticed the irony in most of these, yes. And if mods do enforce the rules as they should (like the .world mods) they get criticized. There's no winning, haha
