I don’t know man, I like Linux but use windows because it’s easier to use with less hoops to jump through and I’ve said so on here without much backlash.
But windows / linux seems more like a meme on here than people actually fighting over it. Like I myself will sometimes make a PC MASTER RACE joke, but don’t actually give a shit what people game on.
But, back to your original point, I’d genuinely like more examples of things you think you are not allowed to say on here. I don’t like echo chambers so I think if there are valid points they deserve discussion.
I asked a question the other day that gave the appearance that I might sympathise with a conservative viewpoint, and it was the most downvoted post of my entire life within 30 minutes. Let me reiterate - I was downvoted en masse for asking a good faith question and not accepting the Democratic narrative as a given. Folks instantly assumed I must be asking the question with an (conservative) answer already in mind, and dogpiled me for it.
Ironically enough, there was one good faith reply that answered my question and resulted in me ultimately agreeing with the Lemmy-approved viewpoint. But I almost didn’t get that answer due to the amount of bad-faith responses and downvotes I was swamped with.
