Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.

See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.
The comment that the all caps person was replying to was me saying that there are non-human targets. Users were assuming I want to kill people and turns out they are the ones that want to kill.
I regret to inform you that being pressed into military service is political. Operating drones in a military context generally involves killing people and politics.

Funny story; I was banned for complaining about a misogynistic post title a mod had posted. I even complained about that here
For the record I’m trans and gay, I was complaining about people being called ‘cumrags’ (derogatory) in a post title.
for the record, you can be trans and gay and also be homophobic or say homophobic things. it should not be used as a shield.
sure, but I wasn’t being homophobic in that comment either.

ah, then you should understand the frustration of your words and intent being twisted to fit somebody else’s agenda and then a community reprimanding you. or you don’t, that’s okay too. empathy is not for everyone.

Your edited part of your comment is probably why you got removed:

it was cool and good that luigi shot that insurance executive; I’d like to see more of that and less military adventurism.
If you’re such a good drone pilot maybe start using those skills on insurance executives if you want to impress me.
