I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

there used to be a /leftypol/ somewhere but it was all Stirnerists for some reason
Ummm this is actually so toxic and disrespectful. People on the left care about and advocate for marginalised people and so adding humour to them is a pretty bad look sweety. I think, respectfully, you should delete this now. And maybe catch up on some of your leftist reading... This comment gives me pretty yikes vibes..
It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well... reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.
I'd like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.
Well, it's a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.
Random transphobia in there can fuck right off
Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.
If I detect transphobia I realize it's just assholery.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit's tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it's the latter.
They're coming from 4chan. It was obvious how it was going to go just by the format of the post, before reading a single word
4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they're also mad they can't participate in the hate chamber
Eh probably not, I used to get messages all the time saying "Oh you were subscribed to or posted in r/thisbullshit so we went ahead and banned you." even though I didn't even remember subscribing to or posting in said subreddit
Also Reddit's policy is officially that you cannot be banned from one subreddit for something that happened in another. This policy is so god damn ignored, that you'd think it was an officer's oath to serve and protect.
I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.
I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.
I got banned because I said “1 like = 1 wank” in r/entertainment about a pornstar that had died. I thought it would be fitting but I guess I was wrong.
"Everywhere I go smells like shit."
I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We're slowly turning into Reddit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You sir are a rare breed, I think the first actual conservative I have ever seen on Lemmy. I'm sure we disagree on most things but thanks for adding some diversity of opinion in a respectful manner.
Actual as in, status quo, Christian democrat stuff, or "actual" as in, fascists and alt-right and populists? The latter aren't conservatives; in the US, those are the actual RINOs.
I mean I haven't browsed through his post history but this thread he says he is a Christian who hates trump so I would guess the former.
This. In recent months I've seen more and more hostile interactions and political strawmans than I can count. Been on Lemmy for over 2 years, and it hasn't changed for the worse until recently.
DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I'm surprised the owners don't divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren't even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.
Blahaj has a no tolerance policy on trans rights, from what I understand, and I think they like how they run their stuff. Maybe you know that already, but if not, maybe that's helpful? It's not so much thin skin as "we're here for the purpose of not seeing that kinda stuff, so we block it here".
DB0 is legitimately one of the coolest places on the modern internet, I'm curious to hear what kinds of things you've seen bans for. The admin/host (by the same name) seems to have very rational, reasonable takes toward moderation, and he values transparency and community feedback. Frankly from my own (instance-level, not community or thread) observations, he seems like a model of high-quality moderation. Your experience sounds off to me, but I hope that doesn't come across as an accusation, I don't intend one.
Had me until the transphobia
It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.
He's active on right-wing hate subs, so he's banned from the remaining civilized subs.
The fact anon used IPA as an example in the context of "acronyms they had to go look up the meaning of" says a lot about them, ngl.
The tacked on casual transphobia finishes painting the picture of the sorta person they are.
Fake: anon hates reddit because they have jargon (every language has it)
Gay: women can and do have dicks, gtfo with transphobia
