Because it represents far more mainstream opinions

"Rules

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia."

And I imagine they would interpret even something like 'Biological men shouldn't play sports in the women's league due to fairness' as overt transphobia. I suspect you cannot even be critical of anything these groups say

O. So it’s gay Reddit.

Gay Reddit is a redundancy. Reddit is already the worst fucking site on the internet, where Twitter users come home to rest.

Correct

Something like that, I don't think you'd like it

I’d be banned.

To me It's about quality of discussion, not quantity. And sure, this place has lots of bullshit takes I don't agree with, but here you're free to disagree or tell someone to fuck off instead of having them banned for wrong think. Most Reddit people, even if they leave the site for elsewhere, aren't ready for that level of free speech.

Edit: put another way, they aren't willing yet to take that level of personal responsibility.

I think it’s better.

Like let people be real racist, and we can talk about it.

[–]hfxB0oyA 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Agreed.

I just checked out this Lemmy site.

https://lemmy.one

It's not worth it. Anything that unironically uses the terms "ableism, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism" already sounds like a gay hugbox of degeneracy and farleftism anyway.

Also, I only EVER used Reddit to post my thoughts and be creative. I couldn't give a flying fuck about interacting with the pieces of shit on that site. I never did, yet they still came for my own private, empty subreddit anyway (/r/random_shit) and banned me for having opinions they didn't like, but never knew existed up until last week. I'd be happy talking to myself online, which is pretty much what I'm doing right now.

I agree.

Also, I say things like, “men shouldent be in women’s bathrooms”.

Sorry, that instance isn't communist enough for me. The only one I'll join is https://lemmygrad.ml/. It's dope. 👍

[–]KyleIsThisTall 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

because it's full of trannies and their alt sock puppets

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Said it is the shit.

I don’t want to switch, but that user interaction is tempting.
