My post had zero to do with politics, and you've brought it up several times already in this post for some reason?
My post was about people treating each other poorly for virtually no other reason than to be malignant.
I feel like this person is trolling the thread and I am sorry because this is exactly what you are talking about. I donβt think this person is sincere at all β¦
Given that their community has already been banned from other instances (and the behavior of said community in this post already) you're probably correct.
I suppose this post has worked as a sort of lightning rod to draw them out, unintentionally.
You donβt understand the history of lemmyβs main instance relationship with those they dont agree with, they are quick to block anyone they dont agree with politically, i got banned from lemmy for the sin of posting a fox news link and they told me only nazis post fox news links, not a joke like thats for rizze on the real
The world's a big place. For many people, when we watch or encounter any content from fox news, it's extremely obvious how they are lying and trying to manipulate the viewers/readers into conservative and reactionary positions. So when people unironically consume their content, it's quite alarming to those of us who understand what they are doing. We know that your thoughts and opinions are probably warped by the propaganda you have been consuming.
I'm not going to downvote you because I feel that you're at least trying to be reasonable. But I just wanted to attempt to explain why people are going to be hostile to conservatives like you and why it's actually not crazy for them to behave that way.
Not trolling, ill prove you wrong with my actions
My bad, itβs just a issue i care about, too long ppl have censored each other
I believe the point is that there's literally no reason to bring it up. The post is about being better than the place that some users are currently trying to leave behind. Reddit is very big on identity politics. You could just not mention your political leanings in a reply to a post about doing better. If you didn't bring it up, no one would know and you wouldn't have to "prove" anything to anyone. It's pretty simple to avoid. I wrote all this without saying any specific political alignments including my own.
You are projecting so much at me, saying I'm demonizing and being intolerant? I am really confused. I've not done or said any of that.
You and your friend are trying very hard to derail my post and make it about conservatism for some reason?
I really don't have anything else to say. Nothing about my post was political in any way, and I'm not going to further be pulled into this bitter loop to try to satisfy this need you seem to have to attack, accuse, and project all this hostility at me.
