What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing?
-
Doxx them.
What, that isn't allowed? Well neither is white supremacist hate speech. Fuck that trash.
Stop calling yourself leftist you hateful fuck.

If I respond, it's mostly for the 'audience'. I used to argue on r/libertarian or r/conservative, not to change the other person's mind, but to add a different opinion to the thread. I doubt I ever convinced the other person of anything, but hope I got other people to think a bit more about some of the policies being advocated for.
This makes it look like the post is popular and draws more attention. Depending on the platform, it signals the algorithm to show it to more people.
Doing this is engaging exactly the way they expect you to engage, it helps no one.

Bully them. The only way to deal with a bully is to show your strength.
You know how a lot of libs like to police language? That weak and only pisses off bullies. Instead, use their language against them. For example, a decent liberal would never do this but you can do more emotional damage to a maga and make a point they would understand by calling them a ‘regarded fage’ (paraphrasing because that is ban worthy insult in many places online) over and over again than you ever could by using logic against them.
Sometimes in wonder if Lemmy is the number 1, social network in Americans highschools.
Because some of these replies...

Nah, I don't really care THAT much. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of vast majority of Lemmy users. I don't really care one way or the other. I'll continue to post what I want, and I'll continue not taking any of it seriously.
It's legit like posting Raiders stuff to a Broncos-leaning forum on a site that promises they welcome everyone when they don't. lol
People being mad makes no difference to my real world at all.
I'm still retired at 50. I'm still fit and healthy. I still spend awesome days in the park and hiking in the beautiful countryside every morning and evening. Life is awesome, even the Lemmy says the world is gonna end soon. (it won't end anytime soon)
Go Raiders, by the way. Go Knights.

You care so little that when somebody finds a hole in your philosophy that you feel compelled to remind them of how little you care. Something keeps bringing you back to shout into the downvoting void.

That's how you read that?!
Gude, I have no "philosophy" and don't feel "compelled" to do anything. This isn't Star Trek or a legal courtroom. It's fucking Lemmy. lol

Nope. I was fine with sticking with AP News and Newsweek. But you all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles. LMAO
Lemmy has thrown around that word so much, it’s losing it meaning.
Oh christ. This isn't reddit. Stop saying reddit shit.

And Lemmy is becoming Reddit lately. lmao

So when I stop posting, you'll stop posting? What brings you back to a community (all of Lemmy as you say it) that actively rejects you?

When you stop commenting, I'll stop replying to you. But I won't stop posting.

I gotta represent the small minority that pushes against the narrative. Be the change you wanna see, right?
You keep hating. I'll keep posting in spite of the hating. All good, yes?

Where are the nazis on Digg and Reddit? I don't see them.
-
No skin off my nose that you’re a masochist.
Good. Because I'm not a masochist. Like I said, I don't take Lemmy seriously. But you seem to. You good?
-

Oh, fuck off with this ridiculous lie.
Reddit coddles nazis. Then they get to lemmy and expect the same treatment.
Then they whine that they get called nazis for posting nazi shit.

I disagree. but anyhow, we aren't Reddit yet. so relax.

No. You know reddit is full of nazis.
And you want that for lemmy. Which is why you spam nazi shit like brietbart.

None of what you are saying is true. lol

Ok, reddit also has bots in addition to the nazis.
-
No, their politics are unwanted. That’s a huge difference, it’s absurd to treat them as equal.
So because someones politics are different than yours, they shouldn't be treated as equal. Hmmmm..
Now image a republican saying that about democrats. Imagine your outrage. LMAO
See, regardless of what Lemmy says, not every republican is a Nazi. This is why you all lost the election. Because you don't account for how many different kinds of republicans there are.
And you'll lose the next one if ya don't wake up.
So because someones politics are different than yours
No.
Stopped reading there. If you're just going to invent strawman arguments no-one said, instead of trying to read and reply to what I wrote, why even talk with you?
