Honestly fuck off. I came to Lemmy because I’m sick of people telling me what I can view and how I can view it. Guess I’ll go find another instance again.

Thank you!

That’s a pretty good example. I remember there was a youtube video that discussed the sub when it got banned. This was years ago so I don’t remember who uploaded it. The guy discussed that (as a fat person), he didn’t like that it got banned. It was really easy for him to block the sub so he would never see that kind of content. Then when it got banned those people flooded out to everywhere else. The echochamber was actually somewhat effective in containing that group of people.

people forget r/imgoingtohellforthis was a thing. Hate was always on reddit. It might have been disguised as something else, but it was there. Problem is its impossible to tell what’s satire and whats actually objectionable. There was a tipping point where imgoingtohellforthis switched from satire to objective racism. Reddit started its downward decline the day that sub got banned. I dont endorse what they became, but banning them proved reddit was no longer as open as they claimed.
