Is there any popular site on the net that hasn't degraded into a far-left echo chamber that eliminates all dissent? It's downright dystopian to not even be allowed to civilly disagree.

Clown world. I cannot think of any gamer site that has not lost its mind, but right now I don’t think there is any. If you want to vent about anything in general, be best places for that are:

  • Saidit (right here)
  • 4chan (not for mature discussions, just lulz)
  • Gab
  • Telegram
  • Minds.com (are they still relevant)
  • Video hosting sites like BitChute, Rumble and Odysee.

The caveat is that you will have to talk to homophobic people every now and then. So when the topic of homosexuality comes up, be on the lookout for that. But if you do, just explain your arguments. At least they won’t try to ban you or get you fired. Worst that can happen is that you get called an F-slur. But you can go to forums where these people don’t go. And a big reason why those homophobes hold on to their views is because gay people aren’t talking to them.

This is exactly what I do. Reddit for gaming or whatever, and whenever I see something that frustrates me, I come here.

I keep getting banned from Reddit for telling the truth. Oh well. At least Saidit is good for ranting, and it is slowly being built up.

Yeah. Reddit banned 6 accounts of mine in a row with zero explanation other than a canned message about "repeatedly" violating their "content policy", but it was suspiciously right after I started saying some of the same stuff I said here in a completely civil manner. They also seem to have some type of auto-detection system that gets you after 1 to 3 days. I think I've finally got it fooled after clearing my cache and creating different accounts on every device I use. Reading several of their moderator forums, it seems they use their AI bots to analyze your digital "fingerprint" through typing style, site interaction behavior, locations, and devices... It's creepy as all hell.

I am doing something wrong. I've only been temporarily suspended once. Clearly I am lacking either in clarity or honesty.

I'd tell you how, but I don't even know for sure what happened. None of my comments were removed, I had never been banned from any individual subreddits, and I was mostly getting upvotes on my posts. I just know that as soon as I started commenting about trans issues like Lia Thomas and saying things like sexual orientation and gender identity have nothing to do with each other and shouldn't be grouped together, my account was suspended from all of Reddit. Every account I made after was suspended within a few days no matter what or how little I posted until I cleared my cache and cookies.

I can only assume that one (or many) of their admins is really touchy about the issue and can't handle civil disagreement about trans stuff (and especially not from a gay guy), so they made it their personal mission to smack me down. Ever since the Texas and Florida legal issues, the trans activists have seemed especially bad about shutting down any and all dissent.

Or maybe I'm just way off base and it's something else entirely. It just seems super coincidental that it happened as soon as I started posting views that expressed less than 100% acceptance for radical gender ideology.

This is the only information I got from them about it:

"Your account has been permanently suspended for breaking the rules. Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit's content policy."

Just a canned automated message, and appeals just led to similar automated messages in the rare chance they responded at all.

Do you use a VPN? Might help. (Obvious question, sorry, but I know some people here aren't familiar with them.)

I've thought about it, but from what I've seen, IP address isn't something they really put a lot of weight on, because it's so easy for people to change nowadays. They use a variety of techniques, from browser fingerprinting to behavior tracking. Clearing the cache and installing an extension that blocks browser tracking seems to do just fine for now, though.

Even still, I literally just got another account suspended from all of Rerddit for "hate", though they actually linked to my wrongthink this time. My crime was suggesting that people of different races aren't so different and alien from each other that we can't understand and relate to each other (on a post telling white people they can't have an opinion about the Will Smith Oscars thing). It's apparently hatefully racist to suggest that black and white people are both the same kind of human...

No warning... No second chances... Just immediate permanent suspension for a single comment they don't like. I'm wondering if any humans actually review these or if it's an automatic process after someone "reports" a comment.

Sounds like a good call. I should look into that as well, thanks for the reminder. I know there's some level of tracking of supposedly anti-trans profiles using Shinigami Eyes, but I haven't looked into that much.

What the fuck lol. I sincerely hope that was caught by a filter rather than a human being who is that lacking in critical thinking skills and/or empathy.

The L Chat still reigns for lesbians (and bi women bold enough to comment there lol L Chatters can't stand bi women) to talk shit about the T.

The L Chat is insane. In a not fun way.

So just like you have on the trans pandering side of the internet

We shouldn't be afraid to have conversations with people that we disagree with. Freedom of expression is our most fundamental God-given right.

I’m fine with that. In fact, I don’t mind interacting with homophobic people, as long as they can look past my orientation and not try to interfere with my private life. Being called an F-slur does not bother me one bit. But I am aware that a lot of LGB people have reservations about talking to homophobic people, so I thought I’d let them know what to expect.
