Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy

Please let's not introduce elitism into Lemmy. I just got here and stumbled upon this post. The social network you use does not make you superior. As much as I agree with anti-racist censorship, there is no need to speak as if Lemmy users are superior beings. It was annoying when Redditors did it back in the day and it will continue to be now.

I mean more as "if you can't look past skin tone and gender, you can't probably read a sign up sheet."

Racists are idiots. The ones who learned better aren't idiots because they applied new knowledge.

Racists just regurgitate what they were told since birth, without questioning anything and doubling down.

Is Lemmy better? Remains to be seen. But if they refuse to join because we won't tolerate slurs, that's a bonus.
