Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    So the one thing on Reddit that you wish to leave behind is mods deleting transphobic comments? Lol

    Would you please quote where I wrote that?

      Can you be more specific about the type of authoritarianisms you wish to avoid?

      Many centrist are closet transphobes and often use the verbage of authoritarianism as a dog whistle.

        I’m a centrist with a trans kid and no issues beyond worrying how they’ll be treated by transphobes

        Being a centriphobe is still bigotry

          “Being a centriphobe is still bigotry”

          Generally it’s not bigotry when your critizes peoples choices. It’s usually reserved for things people can’t change. Like their race.

          Example

          “Centrist ideas are usually not well thought out”

          See this isn’t bigotry because you could have better ideas.

          I’m glad your good with your trans kid tho.

          Hatred of proponents of political affiliations generally isn’t viewed as bigotry because it is quite easy to stop being a proponent of a political affiliation. It is much more difficult (or impossible) to stop believing in your religion, to not be gay, to not be black.

          I don’t like bigotry and centrism is, depending on your interpretation, either support of the wretched status quo or support of a mixture of progressive and backwards policy. Neither position is respectable.

        I definitely get what you mean and I think the idea that you can get away with no censorship is naive. However, they could just as easily be talking about r/conservatives use of conservative only posts and their banning of anyone sharing opposing viewpoints.

          I doubt it. Just the word authoritarianism has been mostly co-opted by the ultra right in American colloquialismz.

          I don’t know of many people on the left in the US that are complaining censorship.

            Idk I feel like I’ve heard loads of media call desantus and trump authoritarian. The don’t say gay stuff is definitely censorship. I think the right just has an obsession with calling out BS censorship.

              Yeah I guess your right. It does it get used by left groups as well. It’s just different contexts.

              Calling desantus authoritarian is accurate imo.lol
