in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.

since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?

    The crusades were atrocities in my opinion. Straight up racism made manifest under the guise of religion.

      Yep. So was the holocaust. But at least for me, it’s an intellectual outrage, nothing that works up my emotions. Apparently to some people, that’s unacceptable.

        Right well that would be an opinion. Do you really not see how your comment may have come off as nasty?

          Possibly. Is that on the level of getting permabanned, though?

            100% it makes you sound like a complete POS to be honest.

            If you can read about the Holocaust and not feel any emotion that does seem pretty fucked up.

              I said no STRONG emotion, go back to my post 2 levels up. Like, I’m not about to sit there and start crying, I’m just not an emotional guy. Is that now a crime?

                actually what you said was

                any opinion

                it’s not a crime. but you know lemmy isn’t a court of law right? you sound like an asshole.

                whether it deserves a ban I guess that depends on the context.

                You also said no opinion. It being bad is an opinion. So saying you have no opinion sounds harsh.
