If so, was it polled somewhere?

    which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

    here’s the whole quote, emphasis mine:

    Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

    Why would you take this out of context, and what is your issue with the whole quote?

      technically we were just expressing our support for US military action in the civil war and the song John Brown’s body. Which was an official song of the US army at one point.

      We were kicked off for our American patriotism if you think about it

      The quote was to establish that the admins personal feelings are involved about the instance.

      It is an objective fact that the sub was banned on Reddit for hate speech. The rolling eyes emoji establishes the admins personal feelings on the subject.

      Whether the ban is justified or not is irrelevant to my point that SJW does not care to understand what its user base may want.

      What are their standards for calling someone a slaveowner? Because if they’re the types I think they are they would include people who clearly don’t belong in that category

        the posts were often some variant of “John Brown did nothing wrong,” so, actual slave owners
