That's the exact reason. I don't like how Lemmy tends to silence and try to outright ban conservative views, even if I don't share them.
Before the election, I was on .world. And active in the c/politics community. I created and modded several Socialist Workers Party communities (which are still up and which I still mod on other instances). I talked about how I advocated third-party.
I said I was going to vote socialist party. And I got sooo may hateful comments. Much more hateful comments from liberals on lemmy than any conservatives.
And I eventually got banned for my views. And that banning was celebrated. And to this day, people STILL want to ban me.
But look at my posts. None have ever advocated violence. None have ever advocated anything radical. I post articles.
Regularly there are entire threads out to ban me from the fediverse. Why? Because I didn't vote liberal and I advocate opposing viewpoints.
Lemmy insured that I will never ever vote democrat. Ever. I have never seen as much hate and name calling as I have here on Lemmy. People advocate violence, shooting rich people, shooting trump, everything. There are calls to ban all conservative communities from lemmy.
In fact, Lemmy does the very thing they they accuse republicans of: silencing opposing views.
Heres one of the posts calling to ban me. Feel free to check out every comment and post I've made and see if you see any reason for a permanent ban. lol
