That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I've noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I've filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it's insane. I don't know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn't become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

just wearing the wrong colored hat or having the wrong skin color

the first thing is something what you can easily change and when wearing it, you're telling everyone who you really are, the second thing is something you are born with. It is silly comparing those two.

I was accused of being a Trump supporter and subsequently harrassed because I wore a red baseball cap, which had a baseball team logo on it, home from a baseball game that the team was playing in.

My point in mentioning both is that it such a stupid thing to get upset over (color of clothing), equally as stupid as being upset about someone else's skin color. People that do either are clowns.

Ah, sorry then. That's indeed overreaction. I thought it was an actual MAGA hat.

It’s not that silly. I’m a man. If I decide to wear a dress in public do I deserve to receive hate? Our identities and beliefs shape our actions and what we wear. It’s not so easy to draw a line between the two like that.

I was not talking about wearing a kind of clothing, but specific clothing showing your political and ideological of someone ways clothes with 1488 I will treat them like the Nazi he is.

Anyway OP said he was just wearing non MAGA red hat. So in that case I agree that was overreaction. In fact would prefer people did that so the association would disappear. I originally thought OP was taking about actual MAGA hat.

[–] JasSmith@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My dress communicates specific political and ideological beliefs. If I choose to open carry, that communicates specific beliefs. If I choose to wear a BLM T-shirt, that communicates beliefs.

It sounds like you’re perfectly happy to judge people by what they wear, so OP’s example is clearly apt.

[–] takeda@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, if you wear BLM shirt you are telling everyone you care about racism and discrimination, if you wear Nazi shirt you telling everyone that you believe white race is superior to everyone else.

What's so hard to get? Why I can't assume your views when you are going out of your way making it obvious to everyone what your political stance is?
