I’m finally making the switch from Reddit. The Voyager app seems like a pretty seamless transition, but I’d love to hear any tips about using this platform, or what quirks distinguish it from Reddit as a whole.

Every instance has bias, and will have bias, whether that bias is made public knowledge officially, or swept under the rug, at least in my experience.
There’s small bias, and will to have neutrality; and then there’s blatant bias and censorship. We’re in the second option here.
All bias is bias, neutrality doesn’t really exist in bias. Something being in the “middle” is itself a stance, not without equal bias for it.
I disagree. You can always aim to be neutral, stick to the facts, and not favor a specific side. You’ll never fully achieve it, but you can come close to it.
Sticking to the facts doesn’t conflict with taking sides, though. If someone says the sky is blue, and someone else says the sky is green, that doesn’t mean that the sky must be purple.
Objectivity is a great value to have, but with objectivity comes bias. We would be biased in favor of the person saying the sky is blue, we would not be neutral, but we would be objective and rational.
Refusing to take any side out of a percieved inherent value in moderation is irrational and goes against objectivity.
The rational course is to remain objective, while recognizing inherent bias and working with that, rather than trying to feign impartiality.
