you shouldnt judge someone based on the instance they choose to moderate on thats just as bad as judging someone for their sexual orientation and if you want to see change you should become a lemmy world mod and be the change you want to see
thats just as bad as judging someone for their sexual orientation
As a queer person and a mod on lemmy.world, no it absolutely is not. Not even close. Not even in the same ballpark. An identity is 100% not the same as willingly choosing actions. You can disagree with the broad statement but equating it to bigotry is wildly out of touch.
the two have in common the fact that a part of their identity regardless of choice is being attacked for no other reason than that
demonizing people is demonizing people
are you going to demonize or mock someone who has chosen to be a cleaner or a fast food worker are you going to demonize or mock someone who believes in god and is living peacefully with their neighbours
it is odd how prophetic the first matrix movie was despite being a part of the machinery itself btw its worth reading simulacra and simulation as the first movie is a decent film representation of the premises in the book warning its a heavy read philosophically free your mind
Ah, I wasn't aware that I shouldn't demonize the imps crawling out of the pit of hell in front of me. It's only fair, they're only advocating for Satan - they aren't actually Satan himself.
then if you find the lemmy world bad why not become one despite your distaste for the posotion someone needs to do the work better a conscientious individual such as yourself
alternatively create a better system of community moderation on a local level and lead by example it would be better for the fediverse as a whole for people to stop being so complacent and change things in their local community
no thanks i wont be using your elitist nonsense those little dots are made up and useless and a clear marker of government control because you know who used that stuff thats right hillary clinton and also adolf hitler both badguys
The reality is that complacency is complicity. I would agree that LW mods don't make up the instance rules, but if they are actively enforcing the rules instead of turning a blind eye then that is something that can be judged.
And this absolutely is not comparable to someone's sexual orientation lmfao. Judging based on someone's sexual orientation is bad. Judging someone based on the rules they enforce is 100% fair.
Inb4 of any bs that I'm advocating anything. I'm not. I'm speaking generally and I'm saying if you enforce a rule you inherently support that rule and those it defends in that context
It's absolutely okay to judge police for their profession, wtf are you on about? They chose the job they can quit whenever they want. They weren't born cops.
