New rule on hostility toward anarchism
New rule on hostility toward anarchism
As a result of this community's existence on a site that is often hostile to its ideas, we'll be implementing a new rule:
4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your "epic dunks on the anarkiddies" is not. As a result of the instance's poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren't just looking to start a fight.
Based. Finally a place on lemmy to address anarchists rather than being lemmygrad 2.0
Contained and respectful debate on the topic can certainly be useful, though. If anyone creates a community specifically for that kind of thing, I'd be glad to pop it in the sidebar.
I think there needs to be a /Leftist_Infighting community made where people can go and argue with each other, and then come back to their safe places to vent and be amongst people of the same mind? I feel like that would be useful.
*edit: I just created it: https://lemmy.ml/c/leftistinfighting
yo, fuck that shit.
banning should only be done for straight up trolling and/or spam. If you cant take an argument then what's the point of having discussion at all?
how long until I make a point that you disagree with and consider it a "dunk" on you?
This sub is one of the only few anar subs, and it's surrounded by hostile people who hate us. that's not a nice feeling to have on a leftist instance.
And there is a lot of room in rule n°4 to still disagree and have discussions, no straight banning if you don't just wanna start a fight.Depends on the community. Some communities are for debate, some aren't.
Yeah totally you're right, spaces should never be able to define a range in which discussion occurs and we should just all bend over to whoever wants to pop in and derail. Great suggestion.
