silenced by force
A statement made with zero evidence to support it. Do you even understand that if we're communicating with each other, you and your ideas are not "blocked"? FFS, we probably have quite a bit on common, and because you have zero actual information you invent enemies to meet your confirmation biases. Plus, this is Lemmy, there is no force here.
Look, you subscribe to an ideology, which is fine, and you and the .ml crowd seem to hold an extreme version of that ideology. The ideology itself doesn't even matter, it's that people holding extreme viewpoints are obsessive about them. Obsessive behavior does not make it easy to have a normal conversation about anything. Here's me taking the same comment and changing only the ideology and it's perfectly applicable the same way.
No one “worries” about seeing religious speech. It’s that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a Christian-leaning instance, about any topic at all, you’ll eventually be hit with “All things are possible through Christ!” or the rest of their standard “I just converted and this is deep” zealot talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It’s exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend Satan, so it’s just of a constant eye-roll when “I’m an independent thinker! Here’s the same thing we all say!” happens.
I can do this 50 times over, talking about MAGA, about any religion, about the CCP, about those labubu dolls, about stoners smoking weed, about finance bros and stock trades, about crypto bros and BTC, etc.
And while I understand there are numerous studies that say nothing will ever change your mind and I am wasting my time, I will tell you that if you really worry about "The Left" getting a fair shake, you have to realize that other than the Democratic party, people who do a bad job communicating what "The Left" does means or wants do more help to the fascists on the right by seeming unable to operate like a reasonable human, straight up lying when confronted about being bad communicators, and forcing yourself to the fringes of even left-leaning Lemmy because you can't keep your shit together. It's actually quite sad how people like you have done more to undermine anyone or anything left of center by being basketcases. You enable fascists every day. Look at your post history! It is the stuff they screenshot and post about how they're stable and anyone on the left is nuts.
Anyway, despite the fact that we likely have more in common than not, you'd rather invent lies to try and get some really lazy insults. Fine, fracture anyone left of the fascists. You already helped put us where we are, why not keep going?
