There's ways to "not follow the hive mind" without getting banned. There's a reason why daily wire is able to be on YouTube and reddit for example.

No i do not have one of those trouble-maker post histories. Most of the time the people who get banned are the ones who don’t follow the hive-mind.

that depends on the community r/conservative gets you banned for even slight deviation from allowed opinions.

In that case (unless it has changed since I stopped using Reddit in July) the rules of the sub explicitly tell you this will happen if you post comments that are not in support of conservative views.
Their house, their rules. (and not censorship)

In that sense, at least they are transparent a put being authoritarian. There are too many "populist left" spaces where those things aren't spelled out and you'll be banned for a vague rule that could be anything and everything. I despise when they don't give transparency to their rules and how they enforce them. It's generally bad too imo. That being said, mods have a hard fucking job admittedly and they aren't paid.

So you are saying reddit isn’t plagued by behaviour where people basically pile onto diverging (albeit legitimate) opinions?
GhostsAreShitty@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m saying that the opinions that people piled onto were generally worth piling onto. If the things you say garner a negative response everywhere you go, maybe it’s not everyone else who’s the problem.

I have no idea if this is/was “generally” the case. Go into any sub that is pro or anti anything and say something reasonable that does not fit that pro or anti sentiment. Good luck. People downvote things usually not based on logical thinking but feelings.
BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh come on you know this isn’t true!
On numerous reddit communities there was a very slim overton window and if you say something that is totally a reasonable thing to say you but diverges from the consensus you get downvoted to oblivion and sometimes even mods take action. You know this is true. Don’t believe me google it. Otherwise I’m going to assume you are not arguing in good faith.

Thats not a very good argument at all. You're literally stating "well since majority agrees with it, it must mean somethings wrong with you." How could possibly think this is healthy or goodm

Are you complaining about Lemmy or Reddit?
