Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    Practically all modern technology stems from some pretty brutal history and a hell of a lot of colonialism. I think being informed is important but in most cases there’s exceedingly little you can do with this information.

      Not using it is an option for something like social media. If this place turned out to be for instance a stormfront run one then it’d definitely be an easy pass without hesitation. At this point I’m new to this type of service so seeing how disconnected and independent from the problem players each instance is.

        Apologies if it was unclear, I was directing the comment at the technology itself. You always can choose to use or not use an implementation of said technology for moral reasons.
