Comment on [deleted]
pyre@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoi don’t get why people… well, men… get so bent up over this. I’m a man and yeah seeing a post you want to comment on but seeing a rule that excludes you is a bit annoying but like who cares.
is an askreddit/asklemmy post an echo chamber if it starts with “botanists of reddit/lemmy” and if the rules forced only botanists to reply? ridiculous.
my input is not needed anywhere, let alone everywhere… i can suck it up and let one community go and do its thing without the grace of my comments.
A core part of my values is not excluding people for attributes they were born with. If they’re an asshole, they should be excluded regardless of gender or anything else. I’d feel the same way if it were any other born characteristic being excluded.
It’s like when I see a cybertruck - I disapprove of the driver’s choices, but they had every right to make them.
I’m allowed to disapprove, and they’re allowed to run the community as they wish.

Let’s take your example a little bit further than some plants.
I see a community that only allows asians or white people to comment, and actively deletes any comments with any name that even semi looks like a “black username” or a “latino username”.
Would you not call that out as being, well, an echo chamber?
“sorry, pyre, your comment was deleted as this is a whites only community. :)”
It’s just not a good look, or something I want to see here on an open source platform. :/

Well, no. I think you’re just not listening to what I’m saying, and I don’t really have a better way to get it across to you right now.
Have a good rest of your day!

That was literally what you were saying.

I would like to inform you than ending a comment like this to dismiss further discussion as often as you do is not the most healthy or useful practice.
