      You wouldn’t usually know where people are being silenced, since that’s kind of the point of silencing people. And if you’re in environments that celebrates sex workers, that’s your bubble, not the world.

          Yet when conservatives say they’re being silenced you call them crazy and snowflakes

          The difference being when conservatives say it, 99.999% of the time we see the actual reason they were banned was for saying something like “it sure would be unfortunate if someone accidentally dropped an axe on Nancy Pelosi’s head haha XD” as a figure with wide reach, or something similarly egregious.

          Show me something similar happening here and I will also not take their complaints seriously.

            I’m not even a conservative and I’ve been banned for just having unpopular opinions, not threats, racism, etc. What you’re saying is just a convenient heuristic so you don’t have to think.

              Do you have any example of an “unpopular opinion” that has gotten you banned or any conservative banned? Also, probably the biggest reason I could see conservatives feeling like they’re being “silenced” is because half of their platform is based on being racist(sometimes unintentionally), anti-lgbtq, etc.

          This site is very one sided. Last Friday, the Canadian Parliament praised a litteral Nazi from Ukraine with Zelensky nodding his approval. I posted this and was called a Russian troll and then deleted. This site is no better than Reddit. The only difference, no ads here. You won’t find open discussion here, which I REALLY REALLY want.

      The sex workers who don’t toe the line that sex work is great are the ones who are silenced on social media in my experience. My guess is that the trafficking victims, the drug addicts, the mentally ill and the destitute are seen as ‘no true sex workers’.
