It would be better to be able to pin comms to the top.

A weakness of Lemmy as a platform is that I wasn’t able to see this post until after the server downtime happened.

This reeks of astroturf. That’s a lot of effort to put into saying absolutely nothing of substance. I cannot assume in good faith impartiality.

Conservativism is when guns

I apologize.

Ah 5 years ago? That explains it. Early mastodon was rough but they seem to have gotten their shit together pretty recently.

I’m fed up to shit with youtube’s bullshit. Between their excessive advertising, unmoderated comments and far-right bias I want so bad to leave that shit and never come back.

Thank you for being honest, most would deny the existence of the tanks. I’ll get to work on that right away, I wanna drive the tankie tank.

Well that’s just the thing, they don’t keep to themselves. I’ve no problem with people having different views to my own. That changes when they start harassing anyone who expresses views distasteful to them. Maybe that’s justifiable in cases where the “other side” are actual nazis, but it’s a lot harder to make that same justification when it’s the other way around. What I care most about is freedom of speech which doesn’t just turn into “oops all nazism” because you can get that nearly everywhere these days and i’m already starting to see traces of that taking root here too, at least on some instances.

You’ve probably better things to do than to go into this, but maybe someone else here can showcase the flaws in my reasoning. All I have to go off of is my own personal experiences and what I see is a direct translation of right-acceptance converting directly into right-wing toxicity.

I’ve done a little investigation in the matter but as the admin for lemmy you should have a way better information on the subject.

Because it signals to actual neo-nazis that it’s safe to set up here, and of course they take their pedophilia and toxicity with them. Remember all those CSAM attacks that were happening? They were all coming from those instances with a reputation for being soft on the right.

They treat passive tolerance as active acceptance, and then throw disastrous temper tantrums when they find out that isn’t actually the case.

of course sh.itholefor.nazis had a T_d community. I’m not even fucking surprised. This is what happens when you go soft on nazism.

important context: Lemm ee has a conservative c/ run by a pedophile who the admin of that instance protects.

Conservativism isn’t a political view, it’s a crime against humanity. They have exactly one ““legitimate”” claim (lower taxes) and the rest is shit like “lets make child marriage legal”, “lets murder people for crossing the border”, “lets dogwhistle neofascist hatred” and “lets roll back every human right known to man” and that’s before you get into the MAGA shit which is every form of outright nazism stuffed into a trenchcoat.

Instances with conservative /c are all full of notoriously toxic and anticommunist users who go around making the federation way shittier.

They call me Bigdisk Johnson.

A lot of people say there are a bunch of tankies on Lemmy which really begs the question: Where do you all keep your tanks and can I drive one?

Okay that’s understandable. I’ll be sure to send a DM if any of my comments saying something like “r–e is bad, don’t do it” get barraged.
