Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.

EDIT: Talking about mainstream instances like ml or world.

See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.

The comment that the all caps person was replying to was me saying that there are non-human targets. Users were assuming I want to kill people and turns out they are the ones that want to kill.

You’re inferring a lot. I just said I wanted to impress people with my drone skills. Never went past that. Didn’t say I would kill anybody, destroy anything. I just want people to know how good I am at flying drones and you gotta make it political.

A very small part of me fantasizes about being forced to fight

A "conscript" is someone who's forced to fight. By your own admission a part of you fantasizes about being forced to fight. When questioned about your desire to be a conscript you say that the only thing you talked about was impressing people with your drone skills and that you "never went past that."

JFC, I know reading comprehension's in the gutter, but you're talking about things YOU wrote. You should at least be able to follow that.

I regret to inform you that being pressed into military service is political. Operating drones in a military context generally involves killing people and politics.

Funny story; I was banned for complaining about a misogynistic post title a mod had posted. I even complained about that here

For the record I'm trans and gay, I was complaining about people being called 'cumrags' (derogatory) in a post title.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

for the record, you can be trans and gay and also be homophobic or say homophobic things. it should not be used as a shield.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

sure, but I wasn't being homophobic in that comment either.

the comment:

ah, then you should understand the frustration of your words and intent being twisted to fit somebody else's agenda and then a community reprimanding you. or you don't, that's okay too. empathy is not for everyone.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean in my case they were just aggressively misreading what I said because they already didn't like me, and specifically added the 'homophobia' tag so that it looks bad in the modlog.

I have plenty of empathy, it's why I found your original statement off-putting.

Your edited part of your comment is probably why you got removed:

it was cool and good that luigi shot that insurance executive; I'd like to see more of that and less military adventurism.

If you're such a good drone pilot maybe start using those skills on insurance executives if you want to impress me.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You can already do that now with drone racing.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do not engage. Refer to my previous comment. There's a reason and you see it here.

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah ur right. It’s like talking to a robot.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

I mean you were the one complaining about POLITICS coming up in discussion of your military recruitment fantasy; can't think of a more robotic response tbh
