MODERATORS
"conservative/right wing" views are basically nazi views. calling this mindset "different views" is like calling child rape "different tastes"--it starts and finishes as complete bullshit. it's not a different view, it's a fucking wrong view.
people with these "different views" are in support of a corrupt pedo rapist fascist fucking con man, and we just bombed a school full of children. there is no echo chamber in support of any of that here yet, and honestly, if/when that becomes the case, i'll be going somewhere else.
also, are you a right winger, on .ml?
I didn't mean to say that conservative views are just different views. I phrased my initial post badly, sorry. I mean to say that this retort is used also for differing views. A few days back, I was asked to go back to reddit because I questioned the US-limited view of politics. I don't think my view was conservative. I was just thinking in what situations this retort is used.
you will find juvenile trolls on whatever platform you use, especially as more and more people join. fediverse is no exception. "go back to reddit" is the new "touch grass." whatever rational explanation there may be for people lashing out probably isn't worth the effort to understand. best advice is to ignore and/or block people who are making you read this much into their ranting.
They are simply different views. Don’t get swayed by the nuts around here. Ya just ignore their extremism and accept that genuine discourse on politics isn’t done here.
It’s great for everything else tho.
I’m from California don’t agree with any of this lol liberals are sick right now. It’s bad but honestly you’re crying wolf right now and it shows. I don’t like the guy either but at this point we are losing the crowd cause we are stuck in bubbles like this. They won the election we need to figure why. We are literally avoiding a mass of people ideas that conflict. With that strategy Dems will never win again.
dude, chill. this is not how you convince someone right wing that they are wrong (if this was ever your goal). I thought Lemmy was supposed to be a place for discussions allowing both parties to make their statements. if we will just shit on right wing here this place won't be much better than reddit is.
Most instances have rules against bigotry and exclusionary behaviour, which rules out a lot of "statements" from one side...
Then you rule them out on those basis, not their general 'right wing' classification.
Include everyone, but exclude specific content.
The 'go away' or 'go back' BS is exclusive, not inclusive, and should be moderated similarly to bigotry.
You know, I kinda don't give a shit if I upset someone who thinks some people don't deserve the same basic rights they have...
I'm sorry to say that you simply dont ever convince someone that theyre wrong. Especially online. In my opinion, the only hope this place has of being better than reddit is by not tolerating that 'just asking questions' shtick.
"Nazi pedophiles should have the right to explain their views and debate the merits of raping children and killing people for being different than them"
even if all of them are pedophiles, you need to talk to them if you want best for this country: you need to change people's opinions through discussions. this is the only way. It's other half of the country. if all of them are pedos then we won't have enough prison cells.
I don't understand why right and left just isolate themselves from each other: half goes to reddit, half goes to Lemmy. we need to have a platform where both parties can talk to each other and change others minds on things. and Lemmy is much more suited for that.
Trying to "change minds" of bigots is a waste of energy. It's best spent on constructive things on the left.
Rightwingers and their nazi friends can fuck off this platform.
yeah... this is why we can't have nice things.
