cue other bigot that thinks that this makes it an echo chamber
depends, if you are banning me for using slurs I wouldn’t think you’re in an echo chamber, even if I was the biggest bigot on this planet, however, people on lemmy have banned me for stating my opinions like “I don’t want to live in an autocracy” or “kamala is still better than trump”
usually russia, but china as well
also just for clarity: I’m an anarchist, I don’t like any state, so pointing out that the US isn’t better doesn’t help the discussion (sorry if you had to read this, I still got traumatized by the stupidity on grad)
They’re welcome to scream in to the void until they’re blue in the face, I won’t be listening 😂
And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

unspecified MtF person: oh you silly billy, unspecified straight onlooker: haven’t heard that in a long time, bigot: absolute scream of rage.
this came into my head when some random time i heard silly billy being used and I’ve been wanting to get it out ever since.
Is there a way to “shadow delete” a comment or shadow ban a person on lemmy so that they do not know their bigotry is being silenced?
I’m not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I’ve not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they’d have is that you don’t reply.
From what I understand it’s actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.
