lemmy is exactly the same. each community has a set of mods who can basically do whatever they want that was always the problem with reddit. express an opinion a moderator doesn't like? you're banned say something unpopular? your comment drops to nothing and never gets read Lemmy doesn't solve that problem. it's only better than reddit right now, because its new as soon as more people discover it, the exact same story will play out again enjoy it while it lasts!

Here, we can test it. "I'm a christian. Anal sex is associated with increased transmission of infectious diseases."

Some identities are protected, some arent. Even factual statements can be misinterpreted as "phobias" or "discrimination" combine the two, and its easy to get banned.

all of these online communities are just a method for basement dwelling LARPers to get their kicks and pretend to be thought police. If any genuine interactions occur, it's by accident, not by design. I'm here for the beautiful accidents, but I fully realize it's just a countdown timer to me being banned and i don't care. i could get banned from every lemmy instance right this second and i wouldn't care. All this is to me, is an opportunity to knock on your door, offer a chance to you to wake the fuck up and realize you're being manipulated. I learned that I was a christian while I was tripping balls on psychedelics. We're all the same consciousness, down to every atom, every insect, and every human. Gender doesn't exist. We're on a planet that is doomed to end in fire either sooner, or later. And the universe will eventually go dark no matter what we do. And you're being manipulated into thinking there is no God because you're easier to control that way.
