    Maybe I’m strange but I enjoy reading lots of posted articles even if the headline conflicts with my personal view point/s. Many times you can actually get a better understanding of the opinions of those who disagree with you. I never reject a source. I prefer to read the article and then respond factually with the reasons I disagree with the posted article. Too often I see “I am rejecting the source” because they have no factual comeback.

    Not true at all. I’ve had two accounts permanently banned. One for supporting Palestinians and one for speaking out against Trump on various subs

      Yeah, Reddit is way closer to center than Lemmy is lol.

      Thats not to say that Reddit isn’t also Left Leaning, just that Lemmy leans Left way more than Reddit.

        who is the centermost centrist from your pov? left and right means nothing without reference points. It’s like saying cold and hot instead of using specific temperatures like boiling point and freezing point.

        And this is without saying that left-right is a 1D projection of a sum of positions in many dimensions.

      It is trending right-wing at the speed of sound; they’re perma-banning left-leaning users at whim.

      I got banned for saying marines being deployed against US citizens is illegal. Apparently that was too anti-fascist for them.

        I got banned from world news for disagreeing openly (though politely) with one of the more conservative posts there a while back. It was the only time I was ever banned from a subreddit.
