Hi! I came here looking for an alternative to Reddit which is less of a liberal echo chamber. It looks good, even more responsive. But I wonder, how is the moderation here? Biggest problem I have with Reddit is that it is becoming increasingly impossible to have discussions about “sensitive topics”. Even if you are being civil, there is a chance you will just straight out get banned for saying something which liberals do not like. How does Lemmy compare? Thanks.

    I don’t need a community to be “politically aligned” with me, I want it to be neutral. But the problem is, it seems like that is not possible. Because when I say “you should be able to say anything, as long as you’re civil” that would already be considered a political stance. Because libs are going to say that that would be “allowing hate speech”.

      Paradox of Tolerance. Allowing hateful, marginalizing speech to be unchecked increases measurable harm to marginalized groups. Neutrality is only ever siding against the oppressed.
