Right wing bots. That's a good one.

Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you'll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.

kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don't want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.

Then find another instance where you can be as homophobic and transphobic as you want

Lol see how easily you are triggered? I mentioned nothing about others. I can support trans people to be who they want to be and not desire the same treatment for myself. But all you hear are dog whistles, and that stops all discussion dead. It's the basis for an echo chamber.

When my personal choices are see as "transphobic" the problem isn't with me.

No one wants to force you to get surgery. It’s possible you were just misunderstood since announcing you don’t want to transition is a completely random and pointless thing to do. I said that in my comment because you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone

We celebrate people transitioning, isn't it a little bigoted to not also celebrate not? I mean accepting who you are on the inside is what this is all supposed to be about, no matter who you are, isn't it?

you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone

Nope, not what I said. Read it again.
I said they were enforced arbitrarily, by mods who only hear what they want to hear.

I want to pick a fight but let’s please stick to topics Ive already thought of a clever comeback for

[-] tomthegeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Clarifying my position is picking a fight?

Sounds like you're the one out of clever comebacks.

Say hello to my blocked list.

Discrimination is not a "real discussion".

Me personally choosing not to have gender transition surgery is Discrimination?
