Depending on where I post this, I’m expecting to get censored, because of my critique

So tired of the constant censorship, the mobs, the mods who just delete all your comments/posts when they disagree with you. I’m so tired. I’m not going to name specific people or communities but it should be obvious.

These privacy communities are all run by the same oligarchs who constantly censor and delete you any time you say something they don’t like, or something they disagree with. there’s no way to even have a discussion anymore without constantly being in fear that some mod who can’t touch grass will remove your post or comment. it gets to the point that it become really even shady.

It’s gotten to the point that I feel so repressed and pushed into a corner like it’s a dystopia that I can’t say anything, it’s so ironic. If you say anything bad about the popular and accepted tools or people, then you just get absolutely sh*t on. You get hunted down and crushed.

I have seen this happen to many other people too. People who are trying to have legitimate discussions and get shadow banned or censored for no reason

Over the years I’ve gone by many different accounts and names on various subreddit and a few other sites, including lemmy. Thankfully, a newer age is dawning with these federated servers, and anyone can easily make their own communities, so the censorship will be ineffective I think.

But in the meantime, I’m done. I’m deleting my accounts on reddit and lemmy, and honestly I’m just gonna not participate anymore. I joined these communities because I have a lot of knowledge to contribute, but I’m tired of feeling like everything I try to say is just going to get some mod who doesn’t even get paid, angry at me or the horde swarming me and screaming for saying something that isn’t completely neutral, or saying something they don’t agree with. taking opinionated hard-line approaches just isn’t viable anymore.

I hope my venting resonates with some others.

    And there it is. Exactly what I expected from someone defending this viewpoint.

    Why would saying there are only two genders in an educated setting cause discourse?

    It’s become pretty damn easy to spot assholes hiding behind “muh freedom of speech” so when these assholes show up we remind them that free speech doesn’t mean what they think it does.

    If you have hateful thoughts you have the right to say them. And everyone else has the right to call you a bigoted shit head and ignore you.

    On the topic of the right place I agree. If I go to China and start ranting about Winnie the Pooh I’m gonna get thrown in prison or killed or beaten. But this is the internet. The main reason you’ll get banned from participating is if you piss off the majority.
