Reddit admins forced the mods of /r/changemyview to ban the discussion of transgender topics. Is there a version of /r/changemyview here that allows transgender topics?
Also, if you come in expecting to debate for the removal of trans rights, you won’t last long
uhh. where did you get that idea from? I support trans rights.
What do you want changed then?
To play devil’s advocate, trans in sports is a hot topic that I believe merits debate. I’m not going to do that, but it’s an example of something that’s not just black and white, and that I assume can’t be discussed at all at reddit given this post by OP.
i think the real debate should be whether cis people should be allowed in sports. it makes my children uncomfortable to see them pushing their lifestyle down their throats
There are a few, but pretty much all of them are inactive: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=changemyview&order=active_month
Important Lemmy rule: don’t assume a community is dead without having posting on it. I have been answered 9 times out of 10.
Lemmings don’t really like when people argue against the majority opinion, on any topic. The Fediverse is incredibly tribal.
Uhh this sounds sus af.
What topics are you wanting to cover?
Are you familiar with the subreddit /r/changemyview ? I don’t have a topic to discuss right now. But I am against the reddit admins banning a certain topic from being discussed because it’s controversial.
I haven’t really used reddit since joining Lemmy over 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.
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.
Some of Lemmy appears to be Reddit admin/mods but dialled up even further to the authoritarian side, which I didn’t think was possible haha
I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.
Sometimes, even if I generally agree with someone, I have the strong urge to argue because I don’t think their arguments are good. But some people see that as being against them or even trolling. And communities here seem more sensitive to it.
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.
wanna fite?
on many communities and instances
Bingo!
We have no ambition of being more lenient than Reddit, it’s just less centralized. If people want to be bigots they can find themselves an instance and a community for that, and other people can choose not to be exposed to their bullshit. That’s the whole point.
Also, the UKSC judgment is a pseudo-scientific piece of junk. Agreeing with it is a big-ass red flag.

This is a giant red flag actually.

At least you’re honest I guess. Authoritarian dictatorship enforced echo chamber is the goal.
The left hand always been authoritarian, far left marxist-Leninist believe in authoritarianism, just their style compared to the rights fascist style.
Modern progressivism is the left being socially authoritarian. People who identify with a political ideal or side typically don’t care for objective truths.
Well yeah; that is a transphobic ruling.
If that’s what you think you don’t understand the ruling, or transphobia.
