Two very different reactions to Age Verification. Slackware says, "I doubt these laws would survive a challenge." While Fedora says, "It's a matter of hopefu...
so this is my first post on lemmy, even though i’ve had my account for many years. i’ve always liked the concept of lemmy, but i never used it because it had a reputation for being the people who left reddit because reddit was not extreme enough.
i used to go through all the subs and i saw that the conservative subs were heavily downvoted. i assumed those were bots, because who in their right mind would spend their entire day downvoting things? although, i always kept it in the back of my mind that maybe they really were that crazy.
regardless, i stuck with reddit because, as bad as reddit is, it didn’t seem as biased as lemmy.
now that’s changed because reddit is censoring any post about these age ID laws. and that’s typical reddit. when its the most important, they censor you.
so now we are back to lemmy. and i guess this is the test. is lemmy an actual free speech platform? because what you are suggesting is completely insane. i grew up super left, and any discrimination based on race is racism. its wrong, and we do not tolerate it. but you’re calling us the far right…
no. just no.
now lets see if you can just flag my post and have it taken down for speaking truth (like reddit).
i was super impressed by all the responses so far. only yours is coming out of nowhere with something completely off topic. and you got the most upvotes. that’s concerning, but if you can’t censor, then i don’t care.
Now I have no fucking idea what your exact ideas are, but I will be assuming they largely coincide with Lunduke’s from the way you’re wording your temper tantrum. Here’s what I found about him in around 10 minutes of digging:
He mocks and belittles people who are more than four times more likely to get assaulted and have sky-high suicide rates. His mocking isn’t even accurate. Even skipping over the fact that gender isn’t synonymous with sex, trans people who have medically transitioned ARE females. Sex isn’t just about the producing of gametes, that would mean infertile people (like women in menopause, or people just born without a functioning reproductive system) would be sexless. Sex is a combination of multiple biological characteristics, and achieving most of them (such as having the correct hormones) would make you fit the description of male/female.
Seems to also be against vaccines. Definitely just “a couple of off-hand remarks”. I have seen other sources claiming this, and also him believing in other conspiracy theories too but I’m not willing to pay for his shitty articles so I guess I’ll never know how crazy he is in this regard.
Anti-DEI, expressed in the screenshotted video. This is way too complex of a topic to discuss here, but here’s what I’ll chime in: DEI’s purpose is largely to mitigate the generational economic suffering caused by systemic racism from the past centuries. It does this by giving priority to applicants in minority groups. It doesn’t cause less qualified people to get the job, nor is it fucking racist to force companies to give both white and black people an equal chance at getting employed.
I doubt ML’ers will do much against you, but if they do you can just fuck off to X anytime you want if you want to be able to regurgitate lies your internet daddies told you (truth). That site welcomes such people.
here we go…

And I don’t fucking believe you grew up “super left”, unless your overton window has moved so far to the right that you see liberals as “super left”.

I’m pretty sure their comments will be removed if they go down in the right wing rabbit hole.
