This you?
It isn't blatant spin, it's you got called out for arguing against your own positions. If you are genuine you'd do some introspection.
Everyone calling you stupid and telling you to shove your stupidity up your ass is not censorship. You aren't being suppressed, you are being evaluated, and if that makes you feel like you should shut up, then the free market of ideas is working.
And they completely have that right, seeing as they own the website? Where did this come from? What are you on?
It never is, sry for the "reddit" hivemind, corners of the Internet are different as you know, 🤷♂️.
And lemmy.world censored lemmygrad.ml and hexbear and others by defederating with them, as well as enterprises and the government.
That's not censorship. Both lemmygrad and hexbear are alive and well and freely available to anyone interested in what they have to say. By your definition I'm "censoring" Fox News by not watching it.
But it's also preventing others from lemmy.world to see posts or comments from lemmygrad/hexbear/..(, as well as preventing them to post or comment), they're not leaving the choice to lemmy.world users(, nor even asking them).
That's more of a centrist take. It makes perfect sense for trans allies to demonize transphobes, for example. Nobody is advocating against constructive conversation, but sometimes views are genuinely rooted in malice and thus cannot be reasoned with.
I'm not sure you want to take a middle ground between being transphobic and being a trans ally, as that's just transphobia. The transphobes should, in fact, be shunned and demonized for being bigots.
Homophobia ain't cool either.
Neither malice nor fear are good when directed at minority populations, and pretending one is better than the other when they breed each other is again a meaningless centrist take.
I'm flattered that you think I sound cool, though 😎
I'm a guilt by guilt kinda guy. Fear of minorities is bad.
I understand the mechanisms perfectly well, you're just arguing that lighter transphobia and homophobia should be acceptable and shouldn't be demonized. Transphobia and homophobia should be demonized.
Now you're defending Homophobia, because you're afraid of normal, non-bigoted people.
Please, touch grass. You can stop commenting, you don't have to be a homophobe or transphobe. It's in your own power to be a decent human being.
Nah, transphobes and homophobes shouldn't have fun by being homophobic and transphobic.
But you're the one who brought in assigned labels to begin with?
That's why we can't "just sit here and argue", because you'd eventually end up arguing against yourself. Thanks for cutting out the rest of the loop the "but my free speech" people would normally need to be guided through before the conclusion was reached.
Weirdly, most people I hear about being "censored" are able to tell everyone in the world how censored they are.
