I just got banned from linux@lemmy.ml, which seems to be the biggest Linux community out there.

For context, it was about the recent Vaxerski incident, where I shared my personal opinion about the whole gender stuff. I wasn’t even trying to be hurtful against anyone, just shared my 2 cents in an already ongoing conversation.

Sure, ine might not agree with my opinion, and I don’t agree with others, and this is totally normal. But at least we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else… without having a mod intervening into the conversation

So to all the mods out there: Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!

    So, we prefer dictatorships now? Interesting.

      Curious as to why your comment got downvoted. Are people saying dictatorships aren’t bad?

        In this context, the word “dictatorship” means something very different to what it means in general usage referring to the governance of nation states. OP’s comment seems like a silly effort to try and shoe-horn their favourite political subject into a thread where the subject doesn’t fit.
