I don't want to be in close proximity to fascists.
I'm glad we ran them out.
America should follow suit.
We should run them down, instead.
Good, they can go be on a website based on their ideals. Like capitalism? Dont move to a free and open source platform. Go continue licking boots on reddit
.ml is a tankie istance and stans authoritarians.
I downvote every post from .ml I see.
Their users smell bad.
Conservatives and tankies both love authoritarians, but mostly exclusively different ones, so they tend to hate each other.
They're the original Lemmyites. They won't go away so easily.
That's why I plan to leave to PieFed once it's mature enough. They'll still be around, but I won't be using a platform developed by them.
Regressives do be link that.
You’ve been here long enough to have seen the conservative shift as more Redditors come here
This post doesn’t ring true
Most so called conservatives I saw here were actual racists or people who can only live and feel good by hating other marginalized groups. And these people are definitely not wanted here.
Yes, the hateful assholes the economic conservatives tolerated for their support took over the conservative space.
Exactly. If a bunch of Nazis took over my groups, I would leave those groups.
Anyone who still calls themselves "conservatives" or tries to associate with them is either stupid, stupidly uninformed, or a nazi.
That's not to say I hate the people currently leaving those circles, but like.. cmon. What took you so long??

Yeah, that's basically the definition of being a conservative.
If you feel unwelcome on lemmy, it's probably because you're not welcome here.
I know you're referring to the folks referenced in the topic, but it's best not to put that as a general statement. I'm not going to comment on political inclusivity, but there are still ways to be more inclusive and broaden perspectives. For example, a lot of women feel unwelcome here, and probably a lot of people from the disabled community, among others.
Correction: If you feel unwelcome on lemmy because you're a conservative
As if .ml would take the time off their busy schedule regurgitating Trumps/Putins right wing propaganda to kick fascist ass.
boy who wouldn’t want r/conservative over here. many much big branes.
Wait, we kicking the shit out of conservatives?
Did I miss the fun AGAIN?! Damn...
Activate locally, citizen. ✊🏼🌈
They want to remain in their small, closed off bubbles. Experiencing different social networks beats the purpose.
It's got to be a shame kink or something, right?

I'm no conservative [I'm a LibSoc/Anarchist], but I can see why they wouldn't want to be on Lemmy. It's not the most open-minded group of people. As soon as someone thinks even slightly different in some small way, they're labeled a fascist or some other pejorative as a way to end the discussion and critical thinking process to exclude constructively contemplating what was said. People can't just have reasonable debates anymore. Insults are thrown and groupthink becomes more isolated and heightened within their own dogma. And their communities are brigaded regularly. It happens on their side too. The human race just seems fucked.
That depends on what sort of conservative viewpoints you're taking about. I see people expressing opinions that I would associate with what I think of as Eisenhower conservatives and they are met with civil discussions. It's when people start in with the post-Nixon bigoted, poor hating, corporate/wealthy bootlicking, regressive "conservative" viewpoints that people are less likely to engage beyond calling them out because there is probably no point to anything else. One obvious exception to this is someone unknowingly stumbling into a post on the tankie triad and saying something with even a whiff of conservatism. That's not going to go well. But it doesn't take long to learn that.
I’m no conservative…
And so I brace myself for the usual rightist dog whistles…
As soon as someone thinks even slightly different in some small way, they're labeled a fascist or some other pejorative … can't just have reasonable debates anymore. … groupthink … dogma. … brigaded … their side …
There it is.
If someone gets called a fascist here, it’s almost always because that person is meeting the definition of a fascist. We have a lot of different kinds of leftists here and a lot of lively and healthy debate. What you can’t get away with on Lemmy is being an awful person. If you advocate hate, oppression, authoritarianism, misinformation, injustice, etc you will be called out.
Unless you are spending time on ml or hexbear, but tankies are rightists who unironically claim they’re leftist. It’s best to avoid those places.
There what is? Their comment gives virtually zero indication of what they actually believe or stand for, apart from a vague self-identification as "LibSoc/Anarchist"; and you're already going for the jugular.
If you advocate hate, oppression, authoritarianism, misinformation, injustice, etc you will be called out.
That’s not even remotely true. Misinformation that fits a leftist narrative is repeated often and uncritically. Debunking and nuance gets deleted, banned, and called fascist. Antisemitism is rampant. Russia, China, any anti-western tyrant or terror group is routinely defended and advocated for.
The Overton window on Lemmy is very narrow. People get banned from big news and politics subs for stating views that are mainstream in the American Democratic Party or European Social democratic parties.
They hate you, because you are telling the truth.
When and where has that happened to you on here? Let's be clear, there are always going to be individual bad actors, but outside of .ml and hexbear, that has not been a trend I've observed.
Conjecture.
Post proof of this or this is pure bullshit.
Come to Beehaw. In my experience, discussions there are more thoughtful and respectful than in some of the bigger instances. ML in particular is straight cancer.
