When politicians talk about how trans people are subhuman or deranged or biblically evil, it contributes to trans people being stigmatized and depressed. As a result of this culture of cruelty, many trans people end up committing suicide.
Where are the corporations firing these people? Just because trans teens sometimes commit suicide quietly behind closed doors does not make the violence somehow less terrible.
“Lemmy” can’t ban people, people managing an instance can ban people. And yes it is ok to ban people for breaking the rules of a community or even an instance. If you have a problem with the rules on an instance go and create your own, that’s one of the core reasons Lemmy is federated.
Except instances that allow such things get defederated
Your point is? No one is forced to listen to your opinions but you aren’t prevented from having them if you run your own instance.
What’s the point a town square if people who speak up are dragged off and isolated in an empty town square by a couple elites denying the general populace of the town square the right to choose what they want to listen to themselves. U would have a claim if lemmy instances where run as democracies but they are not.
