Why even have threads if they just lock them?

Reddit supports open dialog as long as they agree with it

my brother in christ, I was banned from all lemmy.ml communities (fairphone, signal, selfhosted etc etc) because I dared talk about the uyghur genocide.
Lemmy is even worse.
-
Lemmy.ml is one instance.
Join smaller instances so no one instance can dominate on many topics.
We should avoid creating monopolies.

You could also add the NATO flag into your name to help maximize controversy.

Because "y'all can't behave"

Eh, as a former Reddit mod, when the majority of comments are racism/transphobia, the easiest way to handle it is to lock the post.
Yeah, it’s kinda laziness, but when you have a life and don’t want to babysit a post for the next day… you don’t really have many options.
-
I guess one option could be don’t make a commitment you don’t have time to fulfill.
Let the voting system do its job of crowdsourcing the suppression of unhelpful content.
When I was on reddit it was just a fact that there’d be a pile of trash accumulated at the bottom of each thread, made of comments that were stupid or toxic and collapsed because their score was negative. That layer of shit at the bottom was well-hidden and didn’t interfere with the productive discussion happening above.

Don't get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.
Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn't respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.

Feel free to report on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

You are currently in a lemmy.world community. So was this post: https://lemmy.world/post/23467383
-
.world mods and admins are infamous for being as bad as the ones on reddit, yes.
Reasonable instances should probably have defederated that cesspool long ago, but it's probably too big, sadly.
-
Drag was banned from c/news for "misinformation and trolling" when drag said Luigi isn't the shooter.
-
You said it the wrong way! If you said how the mod liked it, they would not give you a 1 day ban
You should really think about your behaviour online edge lord!

To set the narrative, of course. Reddit made a big showing last year of putting their own choice mods on communities and is now beholden to Wall Street since the IPO
-
Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.

-
To censor the lazy?
-
Because you can't tell if it's locked until you open it and give up several ad hits.
-
For me it used to be when I didn't notice it was locked and was trying to submit a well-crafted reply.
-
-
To stop discussion from moving elsewhere
-
wouldn't discussions have to move elsewhere?
-
People are content with having already seen the post to not seek it out
-
But they can delete any duplicate posts in their own sub to prevent comments.
-
-
-
Because spez is scared that someone will come for him.
-
I have read Luigi's Mansion....
-
Free speech
-
Because they don't want to bother moderating all the dumbos glorifying the murder.
-
Glorifying the wrong kind of murder. If this had been a homeless guy on the subway getting strangled to death by someone the media felt comfortable venerating, Mangione would be sharing box seats with the Vice President right now.
-
-
Celebrating a murderer seems like a perfectly valid reason to lock a thread.
-
Well, you're free to have that opinion.
