I am seeing this pattern a lot lately, whenever a person disagrees strongly or expresses conservative/right wing views, they are told to go back to reddit.

You can say 'Don't bring these bullshit views to the fediverse,' or something of that sort. I am a reddit refugee myself, and part of the Reddit API exodus. Being told to go someplace I just left due to ethical reasons feels bad. So, I want to understand why it is being used as a retort. Is it really rude, or am I making a fuss out of nothing?

Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse. I am questioning how telling them to go back to reddit is a valid response.

Edit2 : Edited the the title to better represent my question.

So what's your solution? Just accept all the Nazis for fear of it really being a mistake? That's how you get a nazi bar.

Solution to what? I said his stance amounts to agree with him or leave and explained why.

A better question would be, what's your problem?

You are taking all this time to run defense about how it's actually bad to force Nazis out of spaces like the punk scene because some of them might just be mislabeled. I assumed if you were going to talk shit you'd at least have a solution? If it's bad to force Nazis out of spaces then should they be allowed in all spaces or did you perhaps receive a divine revelation about how it's actually possible to beat them in the marketplace of ideas or some such nonsense?
