Just realized something I don't miss about reddit: post anxiety (kbin.social)

Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it was just nice to not be nervous when I was submitting a post here.

A huge and important sub like r/news really shouldn't be banning people for those reasons. Not defending conservatives, but even they should at least be able to participate in the default news sub. This has big "go back to your echo chamber where you belong, how dare you broaden your perspective, heathen" vibes.

It gets harder when you realize that an awful lot of conservatives (well, in the US at least) literally tie their personality to being bigoted. They simply can't not say offensive things. Even if it's completely irrelevant, they gotta slide something in somehow.

(Then again, as Mastodon has shown, there's the tenderfolk on the other side, but at least they're a pretty small group and don't make too much noise overall.)

Yup, was at a party last night and of course someone had to mention the holiday in the US tomorrow (Juneteenth) with "A most ridiculous excuse for a holiday, but that's another discussion" right in the middle of a harmless conversation. Like he just had to say it.
