i just got a three-day ban from reddit just because i posted how i feel about elon musk.

i did submit an appeal and expect a response from them, but i think they forgot that there's this thing called the first amendment to the constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

as such, i'll be exercising my first amendment rights here on hexbear during my three-day ban.

thank you.

i just stopped going to reddit as soon as I found lemmy.. i tried voat for about a week before I realized it was way more unhinged nazi than reddit was and then it died anyway. I found mastodon and somehow that led me to lemmy and I've been avoiding reddit at all costs ever since

I miss being able to access 100s or 1000s of people for even the most niche subject-area interest. When you have a really specific question. Lemmy can only reliably help if it's a computer thing.

I guess I never used reddit for that.. though it seems like google and most other search engines try to direct you to reddit quite a bit now

[-] SwitchyandWitchy@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

I did the same with voat and holy l fuck, I had never seen so many loud and proud fash accounts.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

I apologize for being that guy, but you'll notice that the 1A begins "Congress shall make no law . . . " It nominally just protects you from the government punishing you for speech, it doesn't really say anything about open forums, though of course some people have made the argument that it should and we shouldn't be getting our values from the dictums of slavers regardless. The 1A also gets frequently violated, but that's from ICE kidnapping protestors and that sort of thing, though they are laying groundwork to do a lot more, too.

Anyway, welcome. We're glad to have you here, myself included.

I got permed just last week. Reddit is a liberal cesspool. I do wish I could figure out how to use this platform better though.

[-] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

is there any reason why you think reddit is full of liberalism?
why do you wanna figure out how to use the site better?

[-] Revolutionary_Apples@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

They follow liberal interests.
Because I was perma banned on reddit and this platform seems better designed.

[-] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

what do you mean by 'liberal interests': do you mean liberal democracy or neoliberalism?

[-] Revolutionary_Apples@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

The entire umbrella term of liberal. Neoliberalism, Classical Liberalism, Modern Liberalism, the works

[-] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

what about social liberalism/progressivism?

[-] Revolutionary_Apples@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

Social Liberalism =/= Progressivism. Social liberalism CAN be progressive but not all progressivism is social liberalism. Social liberalism is the liberal form of progressivism meaning that it is watered down and perverted from its original form.
