Reddit admins forced the mods of /r/changemyview to ban the discussion of transgender topics. Is there a version of /r/changemyview here that allows transgender topics?

Lemmy admins/mods are even more heavy handed than Reddit ones from what I’ve seen in the mod logs - especially around transgender topics. There is seemingly no discussion allowed, only echo chamber agreement.
Like if you said that you agreed with the UK Supreme Courts ruling on biological sex and sex based spaces, you’d probably be banned for being “transphobic” on many communities and instances here.
Some of Lemmy appears to be Reddit admin/mods but dialled up even further to the authoritarian side, which I didn’t think was possible haha
Bingo!
We have no ambition of being more lenient than Reddit, it’s just less centralized. If people want to be bigots they can find themselves an instance and a community for that, and other people can choose not to be exposed to their bullshit. That’s the whole point.
Also, the UKSC judgment is a pseudo-scientific piece of junk. Agreeing with it is a big-ass red flag.
Well yeah; that is a transphobic ruling.
I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.
Sometimes, even if I generally agree with someone, I have the strong urge to argue because I don’t think their arguments are good. But some people see that as being against them or even trolling. And communities here seem more sensitive to it.
