There is a spector haunting Lemmy, the spector of trans people that disagree with you.
Liberals on Lemmy are ridiculously fast to let fly all sorts of conspiracy theories if it means discrediting any trans people to the left of them. Worse still, is that this behaviour is reinforced by Lemmy mods, look at this ban Cowbee copped for the crime of being allegedly uncivil to this transphobe:
Every day, I’m glad for you fuckers building at least this tiny queer safespace on the internet. Death to the cis, etc.
100%. They side with transphobes when it’s Leftists calling them out, because it helps obscure the nature of their particular method of censorship. Now, censorship can be a good thing when combatting misinformation and bigotry, of course, but that’s the opposite of .world’s methods here.
Defederation is the most you can do to censor an entire group of people. It looks less obvious because you don’t see removed comments, but it shuts out speech. Leftists are generally more up front and honest about what they censor and why, while .world and sh.itjust.works try to pretend that they don’t censor at all.
Yet, they recently made that announcement about the site requiring “Civil Disagreement” in all communities. It leaves one to wonder how much of their actions are intentional, or if they truly believe they’re acting in a civil and just manner.

Look, if we can have civil war, I don’t see why we can’t have civil disagreement that includes cannons is all I’m saying
Pretty sure they are “true believers.” When their hypocricy is pointed out, they double down.
