here we go…

so this is my first post on lemmy, even though i’ve had my account for many years. i’ve always liked the concept of lemmy, but i never used it because it had a reputation for being the people who left reddit because reddit was not extreme enough.

i used to go through all the subs and i saw that the conservative subs were heavily downvoted. i assumed those were bots, because who in their right mind would spend their entire day downvoting things? although, i always kept it in the back of my mind that maybe they really were that crazy.

regardless, i stuck with reddit because, as bad as reddit is, it didn’t seem as biased as lemmy.

now that’s changed because reddit is censoring any post about these age ID laws. and that’s typical reddit. when its the most important, they censor you.

so now we are back to lemmy. and i guess this is the test. is lemmy an actual free speech platform? because what you are suggesting is completely insane. i grew up super left, and any discrimination based on race is racism. its wrong, and we do not tolerate it. but you’re calling us the far right…

no. just no.

now lets see if you can just flag my post and have it taken down for speaking truth (like reddit).

i was super impressed by all the responses so far. only yours is coming out of nowhere with something completely off topic. and you got the most upvotes. that’s concerning, but if you can’t censor, then i don’t care.

yeah, i’m not surprised either, although its kind of sad since i really liked bazzite
