Also, let's here's a fun example. I just posted this: https://lemmy.world/post/20405177

It's actually an anti-Stein/Pro-democrat article. Look at the downvotes of the article. And go read the comments. lol

It got downvoted because I posted it. People downvote me because they think I am a russian troll who wants Trump to win. But I have posted several pro-democrat articles. So how does that fit in with your narrative of me and my behavior? Serious question; not "trolling."

Because my point is that I think people are actually mad because they are emotional that I'm not voting for Harris. And to explain it, they are quick to say that I have an "agenda" or that "I'm trollish."

But if I post articles that are pro-democrat/pro-Harris/anti-Trump/anti-Stein, and people are still mad, then how does that fit the idea that I am the one with some agenda?

Thank you for reading the article. It's actually an anti-Stein article, so the downvotes are kinda funny.

Do we have that many people here who are anti-democrat/pro-Stein? Or did they just downvote because I posted it, and they didn't bother actually reading the article (or the freakin' headline)? lol

What's hilarious about this posting scenario, is that the post is getting downvoted simply because I posted it. Which is fine and par for the course, but it's actually an anti-Stein article!

So thank you for actually reading before commenting!

Shows how many people downvote without even reading the article though! lmao

So you’re saying I should just sit back and say nothing when people spread falsehoods about my motivations? What about when I’m accused of being Russian or not even living in the US—just let that slide too? What about that I am "multiple people" on this account because "no human could do that!" (which is hilarious by the way)

You’re literally advocating for me to be banned, and I shouldn’t respond to that? Really?

How about this: If people don't want a response from me, or think that my responses are "trollish", then maybe they should stop making accusations about me and just discuss the article.

A guy in this very thread, posts how many articles I post. And he does it every day. Sometimes multiple times a day. And he comes right out and says I shitpost. Now he is free to do that. My post history is public. But isn't doing that sort of trying to get some response?

Him posting that and baiting me doesn't get a rise out of me at all. But it's obvious he's targeting me and has been for some time. Feel free to check his post history and what he says to me. Again, he's free to do that as much as he wants. But don't I have a right to reply?

I had someone the other day, mention that they were responding to me ad nauseum to just increase the comment count for the post.

Is that in good faith?

If people just stopped responding to me, wouldn't that pretty much eliminate all the drama?

Now, people TOTALLY have a right to respond to me and try to "call me out." As often as they want, because it won't stop me from posting. But if they have that right, don't I have to right to respond?

Example:

Edit: Pointed out that you were were talking about the article. Whew!

Yep! I'm one of them who thinks like that.

Amen!

Me too. It'd take some of the heat off of me for once! haha

I admire your spirit, brother! Good for you for standing up for yourself! I'm voting Rachele Fruit, but I support anyone who isn't supporting the Democrats and Republicans.

Brother, you are on a roll. Fucking A! I have the same question as you do.

Yep. And dems screwed him over. I loved Bernie!

Lemmy really really hates when you frame the question like that. But good on ya, brother. You're exactly right!

Exactly!! Great question!

But I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them. How come you don't mention those articles?

So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!

I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

https://lemmy.world/c/politicsunfiltered

I could have removed them. Seems like a lot of conflicting viewpoints for you to imply I have some agenda.

If these articles are from legitimate news organizations, calling it "poking the bear" doesn’t really make sense. I’m not even posting the articles directly—just links to them. And let’s be real, the actual news sites get way more attention than we ever will here. So if you’ve got a problem with the content, take it up with them.

Besides, are people who post a ton of pro-Harris content "astroturfing"? Or do you think what I post is “poison” simply because they don’t match your opinions?

How is posting articles from news orgs "trying to turn Lemmy toxic"? So is posting pro-Harris articles "toxic"? Also you do realize I post pro-Harris articles too, right?

Why would defending my views or opinions not be ok? Other people defend their opinions, why shouldn't I be able to? Plus if you are that annoyed with me, you can block me and not see anything I post or comment.

Thank you! (I mean, kind of...lol)

Right?! And the vast majority of articles I post aren't even to this community. And I've posted pro-Harris, anti-Stein, and anti-Trump articles too. Funny how the poster who posted my stats neglected to mention that. lol

Banned for what? Because I have different views than you do?! Do you realise that the vast majority of articles I post aren't even to this community?! The person you responded to neglected to tell you that.

Here is my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

This community isn't a "Only pro-Harris posters allowed" community. It celebrates diversity of opinion and thought. It's not an echo chamber.

If you think the article that was posted for this thread doesn't align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators. Thank you!

What do you think the mask off moment is? I have always said I am not scared of Trump. In several posts. Since day one. In fact, even the person I was replying referenced the fact that I always say I'm not afraid of Trump.

So what mask do you think is off?

Here let me actually make it bold for you, so you can remember, even tho I have said it several times: I don't care if Trump wins, because I'm not afraid of him. I'm not voting for Trump or Harris. I don't like either one. I. Don't. Care.

And what propaganda have I posted? I don't write the news articles, friend. I just post them. And even then, it's not the article, it's just a link to an article.

Did you think I was the one writing them, hosting them, editing them, or publishing them!? If you feel the news org that writes and hosts the articles are writing propaganda, have you written to them about your concerns?
