    They’ve taken over moderation too. I criticized a local restaurant that got passed down from father to son, and got banned. I did call the son a trump loving shitstain so that might’ve had something to do with it.

      Yep, i’ve been banned from like 10 subs despite being very careful with how i word my opinion that’s different that what’s normally accepted… it didn’t used to be that way, a lot of the opinions I have that get me banned were once mainstream on reddit.

        I’m not careful with how I word my opinions. The internet is a cesspit, I’m not going to stay clean. I only ever get banned by trump lovers. They’re so fragile… it’s kind of pathetic.

          Lol. Not all people that ban you are trump lovers. You might just be being an asshole and breaking the rules.

      I would’ve banned you for saying “Trump loving” followed by “shitstain” because there really is no need to say the same thing twice and waste everybody else’s reading time…

      It pisses me off how kid-friendly everything has become online. You can’t swear at people and call them fucking idiots no matter how warranted it may be. People censor “removed” because it’s a ‘gay-slur’ but in the UK it’s a food type and a removed is a cigarette. “LatinX” and “unaliving” are things. There’s Reddit subs where people can say “nigga” without being banned because it’s assumed they’re all black. But it’s online so there’s no way of fucking knowing!!

      I feel like the Internet is turning into a fucking kiddie day care centre for young adult Americans.

      It’s insidious too. I didn’t realise how much I was self-censoring until I came to Lemmy and started swearing more in comments. On Reddit I’d been talking like a guy surrounded by children, afraid to swear, lest I offend someone.

      At least here I feel like I can express thoughts and feelings.

        People here definitely don’t mind expressing themselves. That’s both a good and bad thing. Remember gamergate? Yeah those idiots are here too.
