What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing?
-
I doubt you would see that unless you were opposing Democratic values.
Like what? Because friend, basically I would post an AP News article, and then get called a Nazi and told that I should be banned from the fediverse. My post history is public, see for yourself. lol

Whole lotta brietbart, americanthinker, pjmedia, dailymail.

Yep and AP News and Newsweek.

I figure if they are gonna hate no matter what I post, then I can post from wherever I want.
And the sources you want indicate who you always were.

Nope. I was fine with sticking with AP News and Newsweek. But you all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles. LMAO

HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status? Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News. Just look at your conservative posts, you barely post them anyway Dr BreitBart. This is DARVO right out the ass
HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status?
Nope. But it's doubly offense when someone calls me a Nazi, when Nazis would actively seek me out and destroy me if they were around. lol
Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News.
I was accused of being a Nazi lots when I was only posting AP News. I was banned from Lemmyworld c/politics because of posting news articles from legit orgs.
Now, to post in c/politics there, you can only use approved and verified news sources.
So in order for me to post there, all sources had to be approved. And they were. They don't allow conservative-biased sources. Which is fine, cuz their community so their rules. So I followed their rules.
But in the end, I ended up being banned. Wanna know why? Because they accused me of being a user called Universal Monk. Who I'd never even heard of before the ban.
So they legit didn't like the articles I was sending, accused me of being a nazi using AP News "propaganda," but couldn't really ban me for posting news articles from their own list, so they then decided I was someone else and banned me. For being someone I never even heard of.
Feel free to look up the modlog. It's public. You can see my posts there.
So yeah, fuck all that noise. Now I'll just post whatever I want. People can choose to read or not, I don't care.
DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I know the .world instance is toxic and sucks, but it is the biggest Lemmy instance, so it has a lot of pull.

You post bottom-barrel news sources because your high integrity news sources get downvoted? Brother I don't know how to tell you this... It's not who you post, it's what you celebrate.
You post bottom-barrel news sources because your high integrity news sources get downvoted?
Yep! The reality is I get downvoted no matter what. Even non-political science articles.
Which is fine because I don't take Lemmy seriously. But it does show that Lemmy doesn't are about fact, they care about the emotional hit of downvoting someone they don't personally like.
I think it's hilarious that they take it so seriously though.

You were confused with the fediverse's biggest asshole by accident? LOL, you went from "it's their community" to "they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me." You are a side show and a half.
you went from “it’s their community” to “they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me."
Yes, both are true. It is their community. But they decided to get creative to get rid of me. And all I did was post AP News and Reuters articles. They are allowed to do that, but my point stands that I think the real reason I was banned was because they don't like conservative points of view--regardless of the legitimacy of the source. Which is a form of censorship.
I'm not banned from everywhere, so no biggie. I still post, so no biggie. But let's not pretend that people don't like me because I post fox news articles. Dude, come on now... You know Lemmy doesn't like conservatives. It's that simple.
And you also know that Lemmy throws around words like "Nazi" and "fascist" way too much and in fact has started to dilute the power of those words. Which is too bad. Because Lemmy is becoming as hateful as the people they say they fight against.
-
That definitely is a reality, but I don't think you've wrapped yourself around the "why" yet.
Oh I know the "why." Because they don't like conservative points of view. But I'm not changing.
Lemmy is open to everyone, just not necessarily "welcome" to everyone.
But I plan to stay in spite of the drama. So all good.

Things I do know:
- Lemmy doesn't like conservative opinions
- Lemmy doesn't like you
Things I don't "know":
- Lemmy throws around "nazi" and "fascist" too much.
Life is simpler when you tell other people what they know, not accurate, but simpler.
I get why people throw those words around your posts but it's absolutely not because of your sources. If anti-fascist sentiments offend you, then I have some news for you, friend.

To make my point. I posted a science article to lemmy.world c/science ([email protected]) just now.
It's from phys.org.
Non-political. Good legit article. About dinosaur findings. The article: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-air-pockets-bones-alvarezsauridae-skeleton.html
Immediately got 2 downvotes. Within 30 seconds of posting. People downvoted because they don't like my personal politics. Had nothing to do with the article.
Not very scientifc-minded, heh? LMAO

Fair point. From our conversation I assumed you would have seen that. My fault.
I get why people throw those words around your posts but it’s absolutely not because of your sources.
Yeah, what is something I have said in any of my posts that makes me a nazi or a fascist.

I thought the GOP was the party of personal responsibility? But you really think you're blameless in this?
I thought the democratic party was the party of inclusion and diversity? But you really think other people are blameless in this?
