A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.
This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.
So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-
It too, was locked.
I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.
Sooooo… welcome new friends!
Existing isn’t an argument, neither are peoples rights.
True, but this does not mean that everyplace is the right place to talk about everything.
Would you have a problem with a straight person talking Bout their wife or husband, or about their gender? Thats all they did, mention it. Existence is not political, imagine being told you can’t even talk about a fundamental part of yourself because you’re “being political.”
Yes, if the person do it in the wrong place.
See, the problem with people like you is that they think that every place is the right place to talk about everything. And then call bigots the ones that point out “look wrong place to discuss these topics”.
But what you fail to explain is why it should be allowed. If there is a division into topics (be them subreddit, lemmy communities or whatever) it means something. It is not that on StackOverflow you can discuss about personal relationships, there are site of the network dedicated.
