What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing?
-
If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.
I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.
Don't feed the trolls. If you find a bigot willing to have a good faith debate, maybe, but there is no reasoning with cult members. They have to want to change.

Publicly denounce them, then block them.
Reinforces to the public at large that they are unacceptable, and removes their agency to engage you.

I'd say don't believe in it.

Report their commdents, most instances will ban them unless they comment on a Nazi instance in which case good riddance.

If its a nazi instance, ask your admin to defederate.

I thought they were either shoved out, bullied out or pushed
That's not something we should be trying for though. Wouldn't you be mad if suddenly conservatives came on and said that same thing about left-leaning people?!
nazis are not welcome here.
-
are trying to exclude peoples they consider undesirables
Which is exactly what you and Lemmy are doing by saying conservatives are not welcome here. They are un-desired..ala undesirable. Can't you see the irony of what you are saying?!
Take what you wrote and switch the words around. Change all the liberal words to Repubiclan. Then stand back and read it. Def sounds EXACTLY like how you all assume republicans talk and exclude.
They are un-desired…ala undesirable.
Well, yes. It's why conservatives recruit incels.
-
I meant Lemmy as a whole. And I agree with you that we shouldn't be trying for that. I personally have been bullied and there have been plenty of attempts to push me out--all because I post links to news articles that have conservative points of view. Even when it's AP News, I get bullied. lol

Did not everyone immediately agree with you and applaud?
Poor thing.

Generally, my tactic is to not engage directly, but address the rest of the audience, essentially pointing at the subject and mocking him ("Can you believe this MAGA Traitor?..."). When he tries to respond, again ignore him, and just point and laugh.
They get really frustrated being made fun of, without having the satisfaction of creating liberal outrage.

I have never expected people to immediately agree with me or applaud. But diversity of opinion and thought is supposed the be the cornerstone of Democratic values. But it's not. Not at all. I have seen more bullying and hate in the name of Democratic values here on Lemmy than anywhere else in my entire life. LMAO

So there are no liberal incels?!

Good thing I'm not a nazi then.

Looks like I touched a nerve.

Hope you're doing your part to make nazis feel unwelcome.

I don't know any nazis, but I've never condoned nor would I ever condone them. Are you around a bunch of nazis? Where do you live?!

You haven't touched a nerve at all. I simply replied to your question. Is replying to a question or comment "touching a nerve"?!
