And also posting the 2023 report from human rights watch. Sincerely bummed out, especially because the post was respectful and I am also a leftie.

    I think Lemmy is some times so far left to the point of absurdity. If you point out that absurdity people will still downvote you.

    I’ve seen far left folks practically suggesting that Biden isn’t doing enough reign in Israel, so we might as well elect Trump. When I point out that no, actually that would be worse, we should still vote democrat, people will downvote with a straight face. Like what position are you actually advocating for with those downvotes? Some times it feels like folks would rather walk off a cliff than hold a somewhat moderate opinion grounded outcomes and reality here.

        It’s none of those things, it’s about the way lemmy works, it doesn’t break any of the rules of this or the other community. Im surprised.

    It was prophetic to talk about blackouts before the one going on now.

    Just lurk in the .ml instance for a while to get a feel for what they cheer and dislike.

    All instances have their own flavors and that’s one of the cool things about Lemmy.

    Personally I like to criticize China, Russia, North Korea and Cuba along with everything else so I get a detention there occasionally.

      The banning because of reasonable views doesn’t seem cool. I started posting because it seemed cool to interact with other people. Thank you for your answer.

    Yes, it’s normal. Lemmy is a left-wing echo chamber and anything that’s not aligned with the point of view of a given community (even if it’s supported by scientific proof, valid concern or reasonable doubt) you will be downvoted, ridiculed and/or banned. Just ignore close-minded mods and users and be yourself.
