Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?

  Lemmy admins/mods are even more heavy handed than Reddit ones from what I’ve seen in the mod logs - especially around transgender topics. There is seemingly no discussion allowed, only echo chamber agreement.

  Like if you said that you agreed with the UK Supreme Courts ruling on biological sex and sex based spaces, you’d probably be banned for being “transphobic” on many communities and instances here.

    I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.

      From what I’ve seen the last week, basically if you don’t agree with the group-think you’re labelled as “trolling” automatically lol. You don’t even have to be doing anything even remotely resembling “trolling”, just saying something that isn’t what the echo chamber decided is the right opinion.

        I’m a hard core vegan. I’ve been banned because I’m apparently a “carnist troll”. In their defense, they unbanned me after I appealed.

    Well yeah; that is a transphobic ruling.

      If that’s what you think you don’t understand the ruling, or transphobia.

  I haven’t really used reddit since Lemmy almost 2 years ago now, but yes I’m familiar enough with the sub and its concept.

  Is it because it’s controversial, or because nobody operates in good faith and uses it to attack trans people?

  Because I’m so tired of JAQ offs.
