As is stated in the title, I created and moderated !prolife@lemmy.world. According to the modlog, this community was removed 10 days ago. The modlog doesn’t show me who removed the community. I understand the community wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea, but the actions taken seem improper.
EDIT
After making my case via email to info@lemmy.world, I received the following response:
“We would rather not have a prolife community on our instance. We were getting a lot of reports about it and we have enough on our plate. I’m sure you can find an instance that better suits your needs.”
This community was incredibly small (19 subscribers), had less than 10 postings, and had several waves of trollings. Yet, the admins of lemmy.world would rather do away with this community than bother to review if it has broken any rules or is the target of trolling/bullying. I take nothing away from the right to run their instance as they see fit. Perhaps the Code of Conduct should also explicitly state “we reserve the right to do anything we want, regardless of any published rules”.
I am firmly pro-choice, but I don’t think pro-life voices should be deplatformed, unless they were inciting violence. Deplatforming nazis is one thing, but this isn’t that. Deplatforming prolife communities is basically banning large parts of Christianity, including Catholicism.
I was unaware that one had to pass a political purity test in order to participate in lemmy.world. If that is the case, i will probably look to move on to a different instance unless an admin can give a legit reason for this banning.
I don’t want to take a political purity test to be here, even if it’s one I’m sure I would pass.
Pro-life is inherently violent because they force wwn to carry nonviable pregnancies to term.
I chose lemmy.world because their listing on join-lemmy.org called it “the worlds internet frontpage”. I thought it would be a good neutral Reddit replacement. If this is not the case, can anyone recommend one that is? What about lemmy.one?
Probably violated TOS. “pro life” is a descriptor for a set of loosely connected beliefs aimed at subjugating half of the world’s population. Find an instance that is OK with slavery and hate speech, it will probably go better for you there.
Are there pro-choice communities?
Pro-choice ranges anywhere from using contraceptives and real reproductive health, to murdering babies just because they aren’t wanted.
Your opinions are as valid as theirs. It doesn’t matter which one of you are wrong.
