If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.
I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.
I have never expected people to immediately agree with me or applaud. But diversity of opinion and thought is supposed the be the cornerstone of Democratic values. But it’s not. Not at all. I have seen more bullying and hate in the name of Democratic values here on Lemmy than anywhere else in my entire life. LMAO
I doubt you would see that unless you were opposing Democratic values. Shit, you should see what happens if you suggest there should be living Palestinians.
Like what? Because friend, basically I would post an AP News article, and then get called a Nazi and told that I should be banned from the fediverse. My post history is public, see for yourself. lol
Whole lotta brietbart, americanthinker, pjmedia, dailymail.
Yep and AP News and Newsweek. You’ll notice that the brietbart, americanthinker, pjmedia, dailymail postings didn’t start till after I started getting the hate for AP News and Newsweek.
I figure if you all are gonna hate no matter what I post, then I can post from wherever I want. :)
And the sources you want indicate who you always were.
You all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles! Lemmy has thrown around that word so much, it’s losing it meaning. That’s how much Lemmy has lost their way lately.
I’m a native american/black dude with a jewish girlfriend. You all have lost your minds.
Oh christ. This isn’t reddit. Stop saying reddit shit.
I stand by what I said.
And Lemmy is becoming Reddit lately. lmao
HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status? Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News. Just look at your conservative posts, you barely post them anyway Dr BreitBart. This is DARVO right out the ass
Nope. But it’s doubly offense when someone calls me a Nazi, when Nazis would actively seek me out and destroy me if they were around. lol
I was accused of being a Nazi lots when I was only posting AP News. I was banned from Lemmyworld c/politics because of posting news articles from legit orgs.
Now, to post in c/politics there, you can only use approved and verified news sources.
So in order for me to post there, all sources had to be approved. And they were. They don’t allow conservative-biased sources. Which is fine, cuz their community so their rules. So I followed their rules.
But in the end, I ended up being banned. Wanna know why? Because they accused me of being a user called Universal Monk. Who I’d never even heard of before the ban.
So they legit didn’t like the articles I was sending, accused me of being a nazi using AP News “propaganda,” but couldn’t really ban me for posting news articles from their own list, so they then decided I was someone else and banned me. For being someone I never even heard of.
Feel free to look up the modlog. It’s public. You can see my posts there.
So yeah, fuck all that noise. Now I’ll just post whatever I want. People can choose to read or not, I don’t care. :)
DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I know the .world instance is toxic and sucks, but it is the biggest Lemmy instance, so it has a lot of pull.
You post bottom-barrel news sources because your high integrity news sources get downvoted? Brother I don’t know how to tell you this… It’s not who you post, it’s what you celebrate.
Yep! The reality is I get downvoted no matter what. Even non-political science articles.
Which is fine because I don’t take Lemmy seriously. But it does show that Lemmy doesn’t are about fact, they care about the emotional hit of downvoting someone they don’t personally like.
I think it’s hilarious that they take it so seriously though.
That definitely is a reality, but I don’t think you’ve wrapped yourself around the “why” yet.
Oh I know the “why.” Because they don’t like conservative points of view. But I’m not changing.
Lemmy is open to everyone, just not necessarily “welcome” to everyone.
But I plan to stay in spite of the drama. So all good.
