    Whenever I see one of these threads, I go inside. “Removed by Mod”. 90% of the time, based on the replies and comments around it, it looks like the removed comment just said some dumb shit or was heavily disagreed with.

    Why are we removing people we disagree with from the discussion? There are like eight people were had all their comments stripped from this thread. WTF is going on?

      Removing racism and chauvinistic shit is a good thing. This isn’t a debate class.

        You know what, that’s fair. Its just so often! I sometimes forget that Lemmy is fringe and attracts all kinds of people, and not all of them are polite.

      Depends on which instance is doing the removing but around here it’s usually just racism and orientalism getting removed on this kind of post.

      You have been indoctrinated with the attitude that everyone’s opinion is equal and fools must be suffered. This is a community, not a street corner.

        Well yes, that is how a democracy works. If someone says something stupid, publicly, they get it kicked right back up their ass. I’d rather participate in kicking the stupid back up a person’s ass than wade through pages of a one-way conversation. Maybe that’s just me.

            Who are common people of the memes@lemmy.ml state? Everyone here who is engaging in the community, and that is how public online forums work. “A community” is a broad categorization and does not have a standard structure of organization or common practices. “Public Online Forum” does in fact have a standard set of practices and organization, with precedent set since the 90s. That precedent is that moderators and admins get to choose who gets to participate, thus my original comment.

            Any other weirdo accusations or loaded questions you’d like to spitball?

              I haven’t even read the main paragraph here but I will tell you right off that the derangement on display here is that which you brought yourself.

              Go ahead and await my reply for I logged on kinda on a whim and wasn’t expecting an epic showdown of words (it is after work and I do not work tomorrow and I am drunk)
