Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.

EDIT: Talking about mainstream instances like ml or world.

See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.

The comment that the all caps person was replying to was me saying that there are non-human targets. Users were assuming I want to kill people and turns out they are the ones that want to kill.

    a small part of you fantasizes about being a really talented and obedient imperial conscript?

    My fantasy in that situation would be surprising everyone with how well I can frag officers and start laundry room fires

      You’re inferring a lot. I just said I wanted to impress people with my drone skills. Never went past that. Didn’t say I would kill anybody, destroy anything. I just want people to know how good I am at flying drones and you gotta make it political.

        I regret to inform you that being pressed into military service is political. Operating drones in a military context generally involves killing people and politics.

            Funny story; I was banned for complaining about a misogynistic post title a mod had posted. I even complained about that here

            For the record I’m trans and gay, I was complaining about people being called ‘cumrags’ (derogatory) in a post title.

              for the record, you can be trans and gay and also be homophobic or say homophobic things. it should not be used as a shield.

              ah, then you should understand the frustration of your words and intent being twisted to fit somebody else’s agenda and then a community reprimanding you. or you don’t, that’s okay too. empathy is not for everyone.

                I mean in my case they were just aggressively misreading what I said because they already didn’t like me, and specifically added the ‘homophobia’ tag so that it looks bad in the modlog.

                I have plenty of empathy, it’s why I found your original statement off-putting.

                Your edited part of your comment is probably why you got removed:

                featuring this:

                spoiler

                it was cool and good that luigi shot that insurance executive; I’d like to see more of that and less military adventurism.

                If you’re such a good drone pilot maybe start using those skills on insurance executives if you want to impress me.

        A very small part of me fantasizes about being forced to fight

        I just said I wanted to impress people with my drone skills. Never went past that.

        A “conscript” is someone who’s forced to fight. By your own admission a part of you fantasizes about being forced to fight. When questioned about your desire to be a conscript you say that the only thing you talked about was impressing people with your drone skills and that you “never went past that.”

        JFC, I know reading comprehension’s in the gutter, but you’re talking about things YOU wrote. You should at least be able to follow that.
