Is it just me, or are lots of mods just banning anyone with a dissenting opinion?
I like to be a bit contrarian, play devil’s advocate, stuff like that, so sometimes I know what I post isn’t going to jive with the community I’m posting in, but I think there’s value in that. It starts a discussion and it offers a different pov.
Maybe I’m wrong and stupid, and someone can reply and explain why. I think that would be a net benefit. But what happens instead is my post gets deleted and I get banned. :/
I genuinely think this is a real issue and it leads to echo chambers, but am curious to see what other ppl think? Am I just salty? :)
It is not our job to educate you. Having constant fights with people about your community with outsiders is not the point of Lemmy. If you want to engage in this I would make a sub called “Devil’s advocate” or whatever and just let it be a trolling community.
