Wtf is “liberal”?

Liberal as in Libertarian(freedom liking)? Then no, this is the most liberal place and system you can find.

I wish they would be freedom liking! They seem more like the opposite to me, they want a lot of rules and strict moderation, aka “safe spaces”. Which is what a big part of Reddit has become.

For example, transgenderism. Liberals will say “trans women are women”. And this has become the “approved opinion” on Reddit now. Going against this opinion can get you banned, even if you are being civil. That is straight out thought policing and not ok in my book.

Imagine saying a woman isn’t a woman and thinking you’re being civil.

You’ll find an instance that fits your liking though, I’m sure. Most other instances won’t be federated but you don’t want to live in our “liberal echo chamber” anyway.

Yes, that would be civil. It’s just an opinion. It is not attacking or name calling.

But let me ask you this: if you agree with all this, why did you come here then? Reddit would be great for you then, no?

If you think Lemmy by default is a safe haven for conservative bigots then you’re gonna be very disappointed.

I do not want a safe haven, I want a place where things can be discussed freely. But what is your answer to my question? Why do you or why do liberals come here if it is not about the politics?

I didn’t realize liberals must congregate on Reddit. I must have missed that memo.

I left Reddit for many reasons, and I don’t owe you an explanation on any of them.

Lol luckily you’re not being defensive about some totally trivial thing.
