Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

“Don’t be you” - Reddit supports community that protects and promotes intolerance: Robinhood (lemmy.world)

I was recently banned from the subreddit, r/Robinhood for making a comment about Robinhood's shady practices. I quoted their own rule, "Don't be you", calling them hypocrites, and received a 7 day ban from Reddit the following day.

How can we draw attention to Reddit supporting a subreddit whose very rules promote and protect intolerance and harassment?

I encourage you to message Reddit directly and report this community.

I really don't give a fuck about what reddit did or didn't do. Keep the reddit shit on reddit.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That’s an interesting reaction. Are we to keep harmful things that conservatives are doing on conservative forums?

A lot of Lemmy users are here because we left reddit. However, it's kind of an unspoken rule that we don't really talk about it. People would rather focus on making Lemmy good by talking about things other than Reddit. I am sorry you had a bad experience at Reddit. I did too. But say "Goosfraba" and move on with enjoying a Reddit-less life. Welcome to Lemmy!

Thanks for the welcome! People need to critically understand the implications here instead of blindly excusing it because of status quo.

Not discussing Reddit makes sense except when it comes to protecting others. I feel this is an important issue for the community to be aware of, because it is similar to the r/Conservative subreddit that eventually got shut down due to cultivating toxic rhetoric.

This “Don’t be you” rule allows the community to be a breeding ground for intolerance and hate towards vulnerable communities, and Reddit is not only allowing it, but supporting it through bans.

Yeah, unfortunately I've seen many leftist people say 'paradox of tolerance' and use that as an excuse to be intolerant.
