I'm just finding out lemmy is crazy for this. Earlier today a guy got brigaded and later post removed because he suggested that people use the mods to sanitise the forum of any dissenting opinion.
I myself made a comment suggesting that "both-siderism" is really a matter of perspective and people should question their leaders rather than continue to choose the lesser of two evils, remaining in a constant state of fear. I asked why people felt that way to a similar result.
Now you have very reasonably tried your hand at reasonable compromise to a similar result.
How is any of this espousing the virtues of democracy?
Lemmy isn't reddit all over again, it's worse.
