Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.
See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.

A community cannot both be neutral and safe. Being safe involves picking a side and pushing back against harmful shit. Being neutral involves letting the harmful shit slide, as long as it’s hate presented in a civil and polite fashion.
Which is to say, I have absolutely zero interest in a “neutral” community.
So stay in your echo chamber.
Other people believe neutrality can exist and actively practice it. You basically are claiming anyone who isn’t on your side, is against you, and therefore is hateful. That’s an actively hostile position to work from.
If you’re not on the side of any marginalised group, if you’re neutral about their marginalisation, then you are ok with them being marginalised.
Which is why, as I said, a community can not be both neutral and safe.
It’s only an ‘echo chamber’ when they’re the minority. Every website must be populated by bigoted assholes!
I understand this as the paradox of tolerance, but what I’m saying is neutral in bias. From responses it seems people on Lemmy understand that they’re biased.
Yep. I’m trans. I have zero desire to exist in a space that is “neutral” to me having equal rights. I actively and deliberately choose spaces that are not neutral, and I imagine many/most marginalised communities are the same. Neutrality is not a privilege many of us can afford
