Me too, me too

According to another comment this is sexualizing men and bad.

Yeah but until then a man’s gotta eat lol and I don’t see them putting grocery stores every 2 miles any time soon.

So people should only live in dense, crowded cities? Because even in the suburbs it’s not possible to grocery shop without a car.

What, wait, no. I’ve lived in very rural areas, wtf was I supposed to do without a car? Bike back and forth a few hours for groceries?

Legit sad

The concept of Her is feeling more and more possible.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not…

My home country, assuming the average wouldn’t be far off

Ok, my first thought was “no way” but different areas of the country are different, so I was open to digging in. Looks like my gut was right, it’s just more “alternative facts.”

I haven’t seen this mentioned enough. If you’re job is to move and protect your flock then being high up and able to see further helps a lot.

Wait, is that not what relaxing is?

I dunno, you’re whole stance is claiming things that run counter to my experience and I don’t feel wrong having attacked ML at all. You can say both sides do it, but even in that case it’s wrong. I’m not looking to find a place that strictly lines up with my views so I can just live in an air tight echo chamber. I speak my mind in all communities and have only gotten banned in ML because I don’t fit the mold. Maybe I’ve not come at people in world “the right way” like you have to get censored but I’m open to being shown some instances of it.

I’d love to show you examples of my normal comments removed, but they’ve all been removed lol. What would you like me to show you, I guess I could screen shot it from the mobile app on my side.

If you’re Marxist and want to live in that ML bubble that’s fine, but I’m not interested in a community that is so strict in what can and can’t be said, especially if it’s going to host non political communities. It seems like reinforcing group think. If it’s all about Marxism then only host those communities, hosting others seeems like a slimy way to inject politics into other things.

Ignoring reality doesn’t make it less true. Certain groups of people or environments are worse than others, acting like that isn’t reality is pretty naive.

If there was a pro slavery, racist group would you say they deserve to be respected, of course not. There is a line, we just disagree on where it is. And calling that disagreement tribalism is simply trying to hand wave away valid criticism.

I’m talking about normal comments. Remove politics at all. Both communities have what we can call “conversations about benign things.” I’ve seen more censorship in ml than world in that area.

Then if we do go to politics, I can attack both sides on “home turf” and only receive bans from one side. Sure my user is a .world user, no idea if that factors in. I’ve just seen a difference in how the two approach similar situations and in don’t agree with how ml has handled those. That’s really all it is for me. I could be wrong and like I said, if I see world censoring in a way I disagree with I’d treat them just the same.

I don’t know if I’d consider myself anarchist. My views don’t seem to fit into one of the labels going around very well. I find myself agreeing with parts of multiple stances. And disagreeing with parts of multiple stances, which is where my different experiences with censoring come in.

I’m not saying you’re wrong or even that ml is a bad place. I’m just sharing my experience and reasoning for avoiding it. Other may agree or disagree, I’m not the source of truth by any means haha. But I’d really love to see the censorship toned down in general, across the board.

Sure, that may be true. But I’ve been censored on ml around non political issues on ml and have attacked liberals and leftists on world without being censored. I’m one person, so my experience isn’t enough to make a broader claim but others have shared similar experiences.

I don’t know how you can read the very clear accounts of censorship I showed you that I *personally* experienced and claim that it doesn’t happen on Lemmy.world

I did not say you said it didn’t happen on .world. That’s not my claim.

I mean, come on.

Edit: this being down voted shows the very problem of group think. I showed facts and quotes to show an obvious contradiction. Gets down voted. They even admitted to misspeaking , yet here we are, it makes me laugh and it’s how people are driven away. I see this in ML so much.

I never said it doesn’t happen on world. If fact I said I’m not so naive as to think it doesn’t happen. See, it’s this kind of thing I’m talking about. I never once said world doesn’t censor but you put those words in my mouth and try to use it as a talking point. This is a very common experience on ml for me as well.

And it’s not me saying things that are for or against any ideology. If a community bans me for saying a fact (not a strong feeling, because the word fact has really been abused) and linking scholarly resources, I won’t participate in that community. More so, if they ban me for having a normal conversation, yeah, I’ll avoid them. I’ve argued with liberals many times on world, haven’t been banned once. I’ve even gone a little far I can admit, no ban. I had one comment removed that was a fair call because I was heated, that’s it. I’ve not experienced any of the nonsensical censorship on world. If I do in the future, I’ll move away from them as well.

So ml bans and censors people with opposing views, I mean there’s the answer right there.

People could be moving away from world, sure. I honestly don’t care as I’ve never seen the extremely heavy handed censor like I’ve seen in ml. I’ve not seen posts about people moving like I have with ml but I could be wrong. At the end of the day it doesn’t impact me much. I’m just as happy to participate in those communities they move to as well, just not ml because of my numerous poor interactions.

You say world censors more than ml and I appreciate that you have had that experience but it’s not what I’m seeing and it doesn’t seem to be what others are seeing. Censoring happens, I’m not so naive to think it doesn’t. But the things I’ve been banned for saying in ml, and comments I’ve had removed that are literally just saying facts with sources is crazy to me.
