So the one thing on Reddit that you wish to leave behind is mods deleting transphobic comments? Lol
Would you please quote where I wrote that?
Can you be more specific about the type of authoritarianisms you wish to avoid?
Many centrist are closet transphobes and often use the verbage of authoritarianism as a dog whistle.
I definitely get what you mean and I think the idea that you can get away with no censorship is naive. However, they could just as easily be talking about r/conservatives use of conservative only posts and their banning of anyone sharing opposing viewpoints.
I doubt it. Just the word authoritarianism has been mostly co-opted by the ultra right in American colloquialismz.
I don't know of many people on the left in the US that are complaining censorship.
Idk I feel like I've heard loads of media call desantus and trump authoritarian. The don't say gay stuff is definitely censorship. I think the right just has an obsession with calling out BS censorship.
Yeah I guess your right. It does it get used by left groups as well. It's just different contexts.
Calling desantus authoritarian is accurate imo.lol
