MODERATORS
Great now we get to argue what nothing and something is…
Can we stop attacking each other? They are working the "divide and conquer" from every angle, can we not create yet another division within a group of people that agree with each other?
Democrats and liberals are doing the dividing themselves every time they attack people further left of them for daring to actually have principles.
So no, you can’t stop.
Well put.
I believe it's actually the opposite. So many extremists or "I don’t agree with you therefore you’re a troll" bullshit.
You get censored and banned for pretty much anything. Lemmy is no exception and pretty obviously like that.

Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.
It really depends on the community and the mods awake at the time.
One of my accounts got a week ban from a larger community for being "accusatory". Because I said someone sounded like they were spreading misinformation.
Depends on the things you say, where…
If you’re generally leftist, you should mostly be fine.
Otherwise you get banned for trolling (because ofc they’re right so you’re trolling) or transphobia, because if you don’t agree with everything a trans person says, you’re transphobic. Also, the world belongs to them.
Talk about lesser known subjects by the public or make a mistake yourself? Thats it, you’re banned for misinformation and trolling. Or being a nazi or racist or whatever. The words don’t have a meaning anymore
Also the random ban reasons like "Rule 3" which refers to the most open and subjective rules like "Be civil" or "Dont be a dick" or similar
Sounds like a lot of generalizing. Probably deserved your ban to be honest.
All I did was misgender Kris by calling them a "xir".
They were arguing over gender, and I was feeling like being contrarian...
Oh and also the double standards
You can hope for Musk and Trump or any rich fuck to die, but do this with someone else and you’re banned
I would even go as far as to argue Lemmy is a prime example of this.
And that why federation is good, but it gets annoying having to switch instances or communities
Just like my recent post on r/politics got censored?
I don’t know, I’m not on reddit. And by definition if it’s removed I can’t see it.
Well, I didn't see it
And sometimes those people will even destroy active progress because it doesn't meet their definition of perfect.
Online leftists will destroy something because it's not 100% of what they want, disregarding the 50-60% that would be what they want.
the other problem with leftist spaces online is a general intolerance to trolls
Or rather the "I don't agree with you therefore you're a troll"
The ONLY time I’ve been muted by anyone was on the Fediverse 😅 (Still can’t wrap my head around how petty the argument was…)
And it's even worse when that person is an instance admin or community mod of a pretty big place
I think you mean Collectivists in general
I think this "do nothing wrong" tendency has something to do with intragroup power dynamics. I've often seen it used as a cudgel to knock down others within a group and stop mild dissent even though everyone is on the same team. Usually the most prolific wielder of the "do nothing wrong" cudgel rises to a position of some authority in the group, after which the group fragments because the person is insufferable but unassailable due to their moral superiority.
So...You are saying that mods are, in actual fact , not based ?
HERESY
