That's it.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's a "surprise" in the sense that Lemmy wanted to do it different and better. It did in some ways, but failed in many others.
No, you got that wrong. I never advocated against LGBT+, I'm a "live and let live" kinda guy. I am a straight white male though, so not part of any demographic in need of safe spaces, so it is not exactly easy to put myself into the shoes of people who need protection. Not saying I don't emphasize, merely that I'm not part of it. I'm also politically liberal and think most left values are noble thoughts, but lack practical availability.
This is not my main account.
Well, the problem here is that worldnews is one of my key area of interests, and that community is about 8x as big as the next larger one on lemmy.world, which is not nearly as active. Which highlights my issue above with the lacking diversity.
Fair, I get the point. Didn't mean to insult, just had observed quite a bit of trolling. Also had no idea what blahaj is really about, not an instance I interact with frequently.
Sure happened in the mainstream subs, I just stayed the heck away from there. Here I have to engage with mainstream communities since all the small niche ones except for anything linux and star trek are very much dead; so as a result I see more trolling and shit-talking here than I was used to on my curated reddit frontpage.
Fully agree, Spez was a dick. However on Lemmy you are dealing not with one isolated dick in the kingdom, but rather with a bunch of dicks over a multitude of serfdoms across the realm. Neither one feels great.
