Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    Can you be more specific about the type of authoritarianisms you wish to avoid?

    Many centrist are closet transphobes and often use the verbage of authoritarianism as a dog whistle.

        Hatred of proponents of political affiliations generally isn’t viewed as bigotry because it is quite easy to stop being a proponent of a political affiliation. It is much more difficult (or impossible) to stop believing in your religion, to not be gay, to not be black.

        I don’t like bigotry and centrism is, depending on your interpretation, either support of the wretched status quo or support of a mixture of progressive and backwards policy. Neither position is respectable.

        “Being a centriphobe is still bigotry”

        Generally it’s not bigotry when your critizes peoples choices. It’s usually reserved for things people can’t change. Like their race.

        Example

        “Centrist ideas are usually not well thought out”

        See this isn’t bigotry because you could have better ideas.

        I’m glad your good with your trans kid tho.

      I definitely get what you mean and I think the idea that you can get away with no censorship is naive. However, they could just as easily be talking about r/conservatives use of conservative only posts and their banning of anyone sharing opposing viewpoints.
