It is allowing it. Hidden content is still content. It is even worse. It provides a safe space for racists/bigots because it will be hidden from reporting and public scrutiny. The inner circle [of facists] will know where to find it yet it appears “clean” to new users. Also, the constant reference to “balls” is offputting and borderline sexist/misogynist. Obvious bait. Bad troll. Ban them all. Do not provide a platform for this kind of nonsense.
For a meaningful discussion it needs a balance between questions and answers. Hiding behind questions because you do not have answers (i.e. evidence) is rubbish IMO. Why post something if you have nothing to say?
Also, no one said anything about racist stereotypes… sorry to hear the image resonates with you.
Ah yes, the good old “jUsT asKiNg qUEstiOns”… Has never been associated with trolling/(click)bait and was always a start of a good discussion. https://c.tenor.com/2GoRIWk3MjwAAAAC/what-im-just-asking-a-question.gif
They really gathered the most brilliant minds of the internet: "https://lemm y.ml/ here’s the link, it’s broken so they can’t detect the traffic is from 4 chan " - 4chan
Dev != admin/mod != community (although, I guess there is some overlap). Also, write to the devs directly instead. Why even post to asklemmy then? I do not understand why the fear of getting banned is even an issue. Read the rules, behave accordingly, and I doubt you would get banned. Posts like these are suspicious as they suggest intent of (i) pushing the limits of the rules, (ii) pushing content that is controversial (for the sake of controversy/trolling/…) or (iii) evading previous bans with a new user.
Given your account age, I doubt you took a lot of time to interact or read what has already been discussed here (and on other instances). Why the questions about banning (makes it seem like a ban-evasion)? Also, why the antivax/freedom example? Why not observe and try to understand the culture? If you don’t like it you can make your own instance (or find another one). In my opinion, if you have to worry about getting banned before starting then maybe you should not use it to begin with.
Horrible choice. However, its shittiness reflects the essence of this stereotype-ridden communities. You know, woman do not need to wear sexy undergarmets?
The entire trope of “Ask A” is ignorant and naive. Do you really think any self-respecting person would honestly answer such questions that generalise an entire group of people? Just ask this in real life where you have to look into someones face. I know this requires courage and actually meeting people (and leave your comfort zone).
The lack of creativity and creeping bigotry/misogyny are really turning lemny into reddit… Shame.
