Hello, is there any social media on this planet that does not ban people for things that are completely legal in all of the European legal systems?
Or is the fediverse the best choice because even though if moderators guide public opinion on the mainstream instances, people can still go to a smaller instance for refuge.
I’m a minority (autism), I don’t need a safe space.
I need people to stop being authoritarian and communicate with eachother.
If only minorities were authoritarian, then there would be no issue. Since they’d be just a minority. It wouldn’t be noticed.
It’s clearly the majority that deal the blow. Logical, right?
Thank you for sharing your personnal experience. I am glad that your personnality and life experience don’t make you feel the need for a safe space, that’s uplifting.
This being said, other people from minorities seem to have a different viewpoint and consider safe spaces are important/necessary. The fact that some individuals don’t need one doesn’t negate the need (and right) of others individual to create these safe spaces.
That’s great, but it’s also within peoples’ rights to choose who they want to communicate with and to filter that by interest, values or other factors.
I find it important that depending on my energy levels and my mental health I can choose who I engage with.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean there, could you explain a bit more?
The latter part. Minorities do not have power. They just do not have that. So their actions are barely noticed.
If only minorities were authoritarian and block communication channels, then nobody would notice it. It would be a rounding error.
This is because they are only a small amount of people.
Women aren’t a minority, they are half the population. But according to many, they are a minority. This is wrong.
If women want a safe space from men (they do, female only subreddits ban more than male only subreddits) then that’s fine, but it’s not because they are a minority.
In this day and age everyone feels like a minority and likely are minorities. But that’s only a part of them.
I’m autistic (minority). I’m male (equal), I’m European (majority on this app, minority in the world).
Okay now… if I were to be a marxist leninist (minority in the western countries) so I create a safe space.
Okay but we have dozens of political ideologies. They all are pretty much a minority then. Definitely because they vary across countries.
Giving each ideology a safe space because they are “a minority” neutralises eachother. They all are.
In reality, just like the way a government gets formed. People need to communicate and compromise.
Blocking communication stops growth, and hence I do not like this culture of bubbles/echo chambers on Lemmy.
Got no clue how to alter that, or if there’s social media that doesn’t create echo chambers by blocking those that do not fit in there.
