There are some posts about it on ckiwi on reddit. I'm told Lemmy was founded and created by people with strong political opinions, Marxism, Leninism and communism. Glad to support it.

What will and will not be removed here? Reddit was useless for meaningful discussion. You say some opinions and you're gone.

I mean topics like the Posie Parker visit to Wellington and the Parliament protests in Wellington that were impossible to discuss on Reddit without being shouted down.

I dunno. I feel like there was quite a lot of discussion of those events, for quite a long period of time. If you're wanting to support the anti-vaxers and hate-peddlers, on the other hand, yeah, I don't think we're going to be friends.

I would have left if it had kept up for any longer. Attracting all sorts from elsewhere to express overt transphobia. Not the friendly community vibe I was there for.

[-] justgettingalong 2 points 3 years ago

Discussion was only allowed from one side.

[-] ycnz 1 points 3 years ago

Yup. Decent people have no interest in debating whether or not people have the right to exist.

I'm happy to chat about that sort of stuff, as long as it's in good faith.
