I just got banned from linux@lemmy.ml, which seems to be the biggest Linux community out there.

For context, it was about the recent Vaxerski incident, where I shared my personal opinion about the whole gender stuff. I wasn't even trying to be hurtful against anyone, just shared my 2 cents in an already ongoing conversation.

Sure, ine might not agree with my opinion, and I don't agree with others, and this is totally normal. But at least we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else... without having a mod intervening into the conversation

So to all the mods out there: Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don't align with yours!

Totally agree, opinion shouldn't enter into such decisions. It's emotional immaturity to do so.

You lost me at "immaturity" here.

[–] marathon@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why is that? Many don't have it or the credibility to determine what's accurate or not.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because you don't call grownups immature. It's dumb.

[–] marathon@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, some alleged grownups are exactly that. Especially ones that believe our western propaganda without critical thinking skills.

What you describe may be undesirable behaviors, but that's not immaturity.

Lack of critical thinking, stubbornness, indoctrination, ignorance, whatever you want to call it. Not immaturity.
