Sick of internet moderators and their ego trips. (lemm.ee)

I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It's just thinly veiled echo chambers that don't want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I've ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

Is this the conversation you're talking about?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks for the context

Yup. Or that's half of it. You didn't include the chain I'm quoting.

This is the second half of our conversation. We had an initial exchange where he wrote that bit I quoted to him.

I tried to take a screenshot, but im unable to view comments in the community now. I usually block communities after a ban so I don't waste time trying to interact.

If you want the rest of the thread, it's in that same comment chain with that same user.

I can't pull links from the responses in my mail or I would have put the link myself.

Yup, this was it. I would appreciate if you included the snarky initial vegan response to the initial comment that triggered that chain, too. It would be more relevant than those other 2 comments of the random chain above.

Just saying if we are doing context, full context is best. Blaze already included a link, so it's not necessary, but this is the visual in this thread, thus is the most immediate attention grabbing version of it.
