It ends up more as an opinion circlejerk than a safe space.

When you ban people disagreeing with you, you're not making anyone feel safer, you're just comforting yourself in a confirmation bias group where only one voice can be heard

When you ban people by stating they're transphobic when they're not, you're being authoritarian and misleading. It ends up with active misinformation because either you're with them, or you must fuck off. A sect.

When the concept of a safe space goes from no judgment and kindness to a political space, I believe it will have a negative impact.

But maybe it's just me being pissed off at the abusive moderation

Income inequalities don't implicitly imply a hierarchy in terms of authority over other people

Anarchism mainly rejects the state's hierarchy. It doesn't make it left or right

Also knowing that left and right will often rely on the state to push their ideas and rules

both are often linked

Enforcing your opinion while banning people not agreeing is pretty authoritarian to me

blahaj is authoritarian. Them not liking tankies doesn't mean they're not the exact same with their ideas. Ada is a perfect example of this.

!196@lemmy.world doesn't exist for no reason

It's not lemmy, it's just how the fediverse works to prevent double voting

Mastodon also being on ActivityPub, that's really likely the same thing, except maybe not implemented in the UI, but that could be accessed by the API or in the DB

for db0 it might be as frankly I don't know, it was just a feeling that I have, that they're more open towards liberalism

But for blahaj, up left seems like the correct spot

Woke, pro freedom of gender/identity, progressive; so most of the time left

Authoritarian, huge voice, strict on voicing their opinions and rules on the subject. You either agree or you're banned. So authoritarian

To each their own I guess

Downvoting posts in the All feed isn’t that bad, as it reduces their visibility if you believe it doesn’t interest you at all and probably ~~most~~ won’t interest many other people, so you let a chance to other posts to show up

Edit: typo

Yea for sure

I believe most "vote manipulation" bans aren’t really on that case though

It’s mostly "you strongly disagree with us? Fuck you!"

I don’t know this one, worth checking out?

Your voice matters. Downvoting can be useful to prevent echo chambers (ex: downvoting lemmy.ml bs)

Now if the thing is just not fundamentally wrong like it’s just subjective and you don’t like it, yea it could harm, but the most likely is that less people will do it than people liking this type of content will upvote

Its only really problematic on smaller instances or if you do it continuously for every single post without a good valid reason

So you’re at the bottom 🤔, but where on the horizontal axis is to be guessed
