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.
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.
I thought the GOP was the party of personal responsibility? But you really think you’re blameless in this?
I thought the democratic party was the party of inclusion and diversity? But you really think other people are blameless in this?
Maybe it used to be, but a few bad apples spoiled the bunch. I’ve been hearing more of a social contract approach where you’re respected IFF you respect everybody else. Fail to do that and you’re as good as a traitor.
Fair point.
