Well that explains a lot of the generally left / communist propaganda de we on lemmy. Here's the thing, I've got nothing against communists in fact I have a few friends who are die hard communists and that's a perfectly fine, reasonable and interesting way of thinking.
With that said I do have a problem with the gender/identity bullshit people - those who end up yelling to politicians about children not getting free gender conversion therapy and whatnot - because unfortunately they get mixed with communist groups/parties that don't particularly share their views but agree to "bite the bullet" just for the numbers. Numbers are all fun but this will eventually backfire once those same communist groups became associated with those people and lose all their credibility.
I've even got a black friend!

Like all things on the internet, you can safely ignore everything before the ", but"
So I actually want to engage with you. If some stuff ends up being like "collapsed" or "hidden by default" because some just had a one-off bad experience with users from a particular community, do you think you'd agree that it is an OK compromise or is that relenting too much for freedom of expression?
