I saw my first anti-trans meme on lemmy.ml today. It was a screenshot from a Babylon Bee article.
On Reddit, I didn't like how much things would get downvoted if the sub didn't want to hear them. It really strengthened the hive mind. At the same time, it was an organic way of rejecting garbage like anti trans memes.
I feel mixed about whether or not they add to a community. I'm not worried about bullying, but I am worried about how they shut down ideas, and encourage everyone to think the same way.
