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.

Are your principles that weak that you can’t even debate them?
Do we really need safe spaces where our ideas aren’t challenged?
One of my gripes with Reddit was that subs became circlejerks where any opposing views got downvoted to oblivion so people just left the sub.
Lemmy may have been made by commies, but the fibre and 5g was built with capitalism.
Mostly agree with your perspective. But also I have some caveats. 🙃
Having spaces where our ideas are challenged is important, but when people have completely different views about a topic, it’s less challenging of ideas and more pointless fighting with neither side learning anything. I’m willing to discuss anything with anyone, but only for a limited amount of time. I don’t want to spend all my time trying to convince other people of the most basic tenets of my beliefs.
So yes, I welcome liberals and communists and even conservatives on this site and we can all debate it out, but its also not crazy to protect spaces where people can have more nuanced discussions with like minded individuals. Luckily I think the federated nature of this site is the perfect solution to provide both. Lemmygrad.ml is still for communists by communists. And most other instances are for everyone by everyone. That’s fine.
