That’s part of the joke. The other part is that it happens in real life that people are denied passage into a country because someone else with the name is on a terrorist list. I read about it in the great book “One day, everyone will have always been against this”.

I didn’t expect anyone the get the whole joke but I make it anyway. This is the internet.

I totally understand where this is coming from but I started on an instance that doesn’t have down votes and moved to a different one because I wanted to see when I’m downvoted. More often than not it is because I was misunderstood and even if not, I want to know where I am. I remember a discussion where I later realized I was heavily downvoted and would have “read the room” better if I knew (time proved me right after all but I digress)

What does “silenced” even mean? They aren’t even hidden or something. I can’t engage with everything. I barely downvote but often just ignore which would fall under silencing as well, wouldn’t it? Or why not?

I first thought you equated being down voted with being banned but your point was that being banned for down votes illustrate your point that Lemmy isn’t better than reddit.

So what is your point? What makes downvotes so bad?

How so? Are you a free speech absolutist who feels threatened when other people use their freedom of speech?

Maybe you had the same username as someone who got banned?

Well, they let them into government again, so …

What did bro do to OP 🤔

Maybe this really is a gap in the market

So it wasn’t a gun but a bullet after all. Who would have guessed.
