    Okay, and? The whole point of the fediverse is that everyone gets a voice. It’s good to see more people adopting it too, even conservatives. It’ll be less of an echo chamber that way.

      My honest reaction exactly, and I have to say I feel like just being on lemmy for a little bit it does feel like a bit of a left wing eco chamber, which isn’t necessarily that bad and it makes sense due to alot of left wing people migrating from twitter and the likes, idk it’s just something I’ve noticed and wanted to mention

        Yeah. I don’t usually mind either too much. I think there is a problem when you have the likes of [email protected] being downvote brigaded to the point that it actually is unfairly balancing the posts due to the slim minority of Christians on here. Most lefties I find on here are cool, though. Just a slim minority of them, like the ones who get offended at you saying “bro”

          And what is that acronym stand for? There is no “kneejerk” when collective defederation, save for outright removing the instance, is the only sane method of kicking out fascists.

              You’re talking about conservatives, who are fascists in sheep’s clothing.

                    You’d be better asking people their opinions on issues before sticking on labels over one issue.

                    I call myself a conservative because I support the structure of the institution of where I reside- The United Kingdom. I support the conservation of our constitutional monarchy and unitary parliamentary democracy. I support the four nations of the United Kingdom being in such a union. I support the conservation of the NHS. I support traditional values of: God first, family second, community/country third and corporate obligations fourth.

                    However, I also support the Kingdom being open and accepting to those who want to work and reside here that will benefit the country in some way and not cause hindrance to others, as well as helping those fleeing to safety. I believe we are created in God’s image and hatred based on ethnicity/race is wrong. I believe we are all sinners and thus shouldn’t see ourselves as better than each other. I believe in feeding those who cannot support themselves and uplifting those who need help. These are all stemmed in my conservative religious faith and belief.

                    Does this make me a fascist?

            I have yet to find a trump supporter that was a nazi. In fact, the cases where I found a nazi, they hated trump for being a zionist

              maga toes the line with open nazis and they don’t even bat an eye.

              If you have 10 people at a table and 1 of them is a nazi, you have 10 nazis. Simple as.

                  Can’t we apply the same logic with leftists?

                  It is imperative (to someone) that we do. Otherwise folks might wise up and get angry at billionaires.

      No, the whole point of the fediverse is to combat censorship from fascists.

      Inviting them over there is NOT good. It’ll show more pro-fascist views and fool gullible people. And the more fascist instances there are, the harder to kick those out.

      “Echo chambers” don’t exist except on fascist forums.

      You’re saying you support it turning into a Nazi bar. If you want one, then go there, instead of being on Lemmy.

        It’s to combat censorship. How will having ““fascists”” on the fediverse start putting in place censorship?

        Inviting them over there is NOT good. It’ll show more pro-fascist views and fool gullible people. And the more fascist instances there are, the harder to kick those out.

        It sounds like you’re the one wanting to enforce censorship?

        You’re saying you support it turning into a Nazi bar. If you want one, then go there, instead of being on Lemmy.

        I’m not talking about nazis or fascists. You were the first to mention them.

      yeah but we’ve seen with other social media platforms what happens when the conservatives come knockin’. Once the wave of conservative boomers and social outcasts comes the grifters will follow and it’s the end of the platform.

        That’s due to algorithms. And again, you could just defed them.
