I got a “who asked” amongst more productive banter this morning and I actually laughed and said “thank god, people can talk without a filter”.
I’m okay with some stuff being toxic. Reddits moderation rules were so restricting that you couldn’t have a genuine conversation or sometimes just post something that was clearly originally intended to be posted to a sub; moderation was too tight.
Freedom of speech shouldn’t be inconvenienced by a fedora wearing subreddit mod. And if one Lemmy instance does, there’s others you can enjoy!
