<offtopic> Threads like this are where I point when people accuse Lemmy admins of not allowing different opinions. How many people in these threads got banned for a different opinion, hmm? </offtopic>
(apparently I need to clarify, nobody has been banned for dissent. This is a pro-mods comment)
Yeah downvote because you don’t know what to reply when a name like Didier Raoult is mentioned, one of the scientists with the higher h-index of the world.
Way to completely misunderstand my point. I’m saying people aren’t getting banned for dissent. They usually get banned for explicit racism and bigotry.

I’ll be honest, this discussion on Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air compared to that on Reddit, Twitter, or even Hacker News of all places.
I agree. Most viewpoints I’ve seen here are pretty rational takes on the same thing, just differing slightly on recommended action.
How so? I have mostly seen the admins behave nicely toward different views.
Exactly. Nobody has been getting banned for dissent. But people still say that.
They delete comments though.
Not for just dissent they don’t.
Yes, they do, one of the removed my comments and called me “conspiracy nerd”: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/community/16
It didn’t get removed for dissent. It got removed for spreading harmful misinformation.
This is your opinion though. I mentioned Didier Raoult as source, isn’t it enough?
That’s not a credible source. If he were credible, why is he being disciplined for ethics violations?

your absolutely right, they don’t like free thought

And for quoting Didier Raoult, one of the scientists with the higher h-index in the world.
