I don't think you've read either book because that analogy makes absolutely no sense.
I'll make the analogy more clear to you. In 1984 the government got absolute information control, thats what you guys are worried about. In Fahrenheit 451 people themselves censored everything that offended anyone, eventually leading to all the books being burnt.
People have opinions, and lemmy is becoming a worse echochamber than reddit.
Except the irony here is that the people we don't want here are those offended by everything, like different people existing, and are also the one banning books. most people aren't as easily offended as you make out to be, but most people expect jokes and behavior to be done in good taste, which translates to meaning no harms and no hate. only extremists of all sorts usually break that "rule".
But nobody is burning books, we're just saying don't be a piece of shit on our website. If you feel like being a piece of shit, https://boards.4chan.org/b/ is right here, perfectly safe and unburned.
Oh so you ARE and ignorant, uninformed shitbag.
insulting someone's intelligence while being unable to form a sentence will always be funny
