Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

I only draw lines for myself. I am not arrogant to claim to speak for anyone else.
I also draw the lines based on context of the existing community, god forbid!
If you don't like certain words, cool, don't interact go go to places that allow them. But the issue is your need to impose your personal beliefs on others who don't share them, and don't want to share them.
Should I go into a black barber shop and start informing the community there how racist/ableist/sexist they all are based on their language use? Or would that just make me the racist?
From where I stand, that would make me the racist POS if I did that. Trying to impose my bullshit on other people who never asked for it, who don't want it, and think it's total bullshit. Maybe I should go into the barber shop and 'educate' all those 'ignorant' black men about bell hooks!!! Clearly that will 'fix' their ignorance!!
Yet here you are telling people where they're not allowed to draw lines for others.
That's you, speaking for everyone else.
nobody asked for what you're saying now.
You're literally trying to define the social norm while telling eveyone else they should not get to pick the social norm.
Advocating for eveyrone to refuse to censor anything is same trap as advocating for people to censor things.
And there will always be lines. Gonna block outright harassment? Gonna block kiddie pics, Gonna block a bunch of people organizing how to cut the power to a town, kill people, get away with murder?
every response you made here was 'no but u'
This is why decent folk don't respect your viewpoint. Because you can't defend it without calling peoples names and resorting to toddler level replies, and misconstruing everything someone else says deliberately.
I am not defining anything for anyone else. I am speaking for myself. Your entire blindness to this fact is so telling. You literally can't distinguish between a personal view and a social view, because for you there is no distinction. Hence you feel you personal feelings are the business of society, and society has to be built to protect your personal feelings.
I notice a lot of people like you also can't seem to distinguish between the external world and your own internal thoughts, and seem to think that isn't a personal problem of your own, but a problem the 'society' is suppose to solve for you. Other people's realities dont' exist for you, you want to erase them and create a friction-less world that only ever reflects your own image, and nobody who upsets you is allowed to exist in it.
Are we reading the same thing? Are you ok? Have you hit your head?
Dying on a hill is hard. I'm not even going to respond to their last batch. They don't see it, us trying to make them see it isn't going to provide interesting or useful discourse or make them feel any better about it :)
Every single time. Women cannot argue without mean girls tactics
That's certainly not a quote from anything I've typed lol
