Is that what Lemmy wants to be? (lemmy.world)

A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment under a post about a hateful rage upon israel in c/news, literally I wrote “What could Hamas do to end the violence?”

Nothing else.

And I got immediately banned.

The moderators refuse to answer my messages.

Not even that, they even banned a buddy who spoke up in my defence per message - not per c/news but really just a personal message to be sure.

In 15 years of Reddit my posts got deleted a lot - but NEVER my comments and I got NEVER banned for anything.

If this is what Lemmy wants to be, then be it but without me.

Do you think this is what Lemmy needs to be?

Maybe; can't say I've ever participated in those or know anything about them.

In any case, I've been having political arguments on social media since at least 2015 ... and I'm not convinced it was a good expenditure of time.

I think there are more reliable places to find news and it's best discussed with friends and possibly family. Social media is better for hobbies, interests, fun facts, history, and silly things.

I mean, even this fairly tame discussion we're having getting down voted speaks volumes really. I share your frustration but I'd invest your energy elsewhere.
