I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It's just thinly veiled echo chambers that don't want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I've ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

For those who want to know what this admin is referencing:

I made a post in the movies sub this morning. I was notifying star wars fans there was a theatrical re-run of Episode 1 on May 4th so they should grab their tickets now.

A group of shitposters came in being assholes ranging from saying Star wars is bad to personal attacks that people who like star wars are insufferable.

People who make their whole personality about Star Wars, or Star Trek, or Marvel Comics, or whatever...

Are just as bad as potheads who make their whole personality revolve around the fact that they smoke pot.

Direct quote of one of the commenters

I simply said

"Sorry yall were born with bad taste. Hope it gets better".

And the mod specifically singled me out as they followed me from this thread.

The other comment is still up.
