"Nuanced" Both sidesing in the face of a genocide? Condemning the oppressors and oppressed in equal measure? Do you not see the issue with that?

Explains why they think lemmy is more ban happy than reddit. It certainly is, for genocide bothsiders.

Short answer? It's normally used against conservatives, but cliques and purity politics (both literal politics and not) do come into play on occasion. Longer answer: Lemmy was originally founded by a bunch of Marxist-Leninists and socialists of similar stripes (that's what the .ml stands for), and early adopters often made up some form of minority group/outcast - LGBTQ and the like.

Technically .ml stands for Mali, and was chosen because the domain is cheap. Ended up being a bit of a funny coincedence.

Both sidesing genocide is still bad even if you are "debunking" hard-line pro genociders. If your position is anything short of Israel shouldn't exist it's liberal Zionism. You should have nothing but support for the liberation movements of oppressed nations even if they don't fit your pr standard.

Sure. Please explain that to whichever mod is the Zionist. Maybe I'll actually speak out against it again, then.

I checked the modlog and you were very much banned for concern trolling about "Israelis being victims" while Gaza was getting flattened. You had another gem just before that where you fantasize about re-educating "brown folk".

I mean, it's intended to be an insult because the implication is that Reddit sucks.

I personally never understood the "Redditor" insults.

Reddit is just a forum directory with an infinite feed. You can find cringey weirdos but there's also subreddits for potted plants, chess, home improvement, etc. which are pretty mundane and low drama.

I left Reddit for similar reasons, but I still use it sometimes for troubleshooting and advice in the IT/Programming space.

Redditors self-police their speech to fall in the window of acceptable debate. They are deeply brainwashed but have no idea of it because Reddit moderators ban anything not deemed "acceptable speech" by their media overlords. Hence they will spam the term "tankie" if someone for example tells them that killing the Iranian leader will only end up like killing Saddam in Iraq. In the wise words of...

Conservative/right-wing views have absolutely nothing to do with it in my books.

This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because behave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.

When I see someone behaving like that, seemingly unable to carry on a civil conversation, I do not hesitate to suggest that they go back to Reddit if they're going to behave like those people. We do NOT want this community to devolve to that level. It is not a serious suggestion that they return there - it's more so an invitation to examine their behavior, and maybe take a step back, and look at this community overall vs. that community overall, and give some consideration to maybe behaving like a mature adult instead. Spelling it out that way when dealing with those kinds of people typically just encourages them to double down though, so it gets wrapped up in that little retort instead.

Speaking as a punk, it's about keeping a community a healthy, welcoming place for the 99% of people who aren't assholes. There's a reason why we say 'Nazi punks fuck off.' It's not just a slogan or part of a song, it's a declaration that this house will not be used as a gathering place for people who want to tear it down.

That's not what OP was on about. They were talking about nazism. That's not a differing opinion, a valid stance, or something to even remotely consider. Nazis aren't "people disagreeing with you"

Who is people like me? Non whites? Who have I called a nazi? You replied to a post about nazi punks (a hyper well documented phenomenon) and how punks have to make it clear they are not welcome much like bars to avoid becoming nazi bars. What is your point? Nazis should be welcome? Because your spiel about mislabeling isn't relevant.

Saying "nazis aren't welcome" is akin to "agree with me or leave" in an environment where people call their opposition nazis just to have them censored.

Most instances have rules against bigotry and exclusionary behaviour, which rules out a lot of "statements" from one side...

Then you rule them out on those basis, not their general 'right wing' classification.

Include everyone, but exclude specific content.

The 'go away' or 'go back' BS is exclusive, not inclusive, and should be moderated similarly to bigotry.

You are taking all this time to run defense about how it's actually bad to force Nazis out of spaces like the punk scene because some of them might just be mislabeled. I assumed if you were going to talk shit you'd at least have a solution? If it's bad to force Nazis out of spaces then should they be allowed in all spaces or did you perhaps receive a divine revelation about how it's actually possible to beat them in the marketplace of ideas or some such nonsense?

'You people' is typically defined by the attached action. 'You people' are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is.

If you don't do it, 'you people' is not you.

If you do do it, 'you people' is you.

The point is not about 'who', it's an oppositional statement about the 'what', the action, and implies it's bad, or more importantly that the speaker doesn't approve.

Like: 'You people, always with the child raping.'

If you don't rape children, 'you people' isn't you.

But also, the speaker is implying that child raping is bad, or something they don't approve of, and something they don't do.

I'm from a very hippy community.

I'm a collectivist.

I'm extremely far left & progressive.

I'm wholly anti-fascist.

I'm also 100% in agreement with you regarding including differing opinions regardless of how extreme.

Inclusivity only brodens the divide and limits opportunities for people who harbor extremist views to be influenced toward developing more balanced, functional, and beneficial perspectives.

Moderation can be used to soften their influences in our commuty while including them allows our community to influence them.

The way it read initially was that anyone using the word nazi did so as a silencing manoeuvre. "You people" sounds derogatory to me, I don't like it. It lumps people together and waves away individuality.
