None of what you are saying is true. lol
Reddit coddles nazis.
I disagree. but anyhow, we aren’t Reddit yet. so relax.
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?
Where are the nazis on Digg and Reddit? I don’t see them.
So when I stop posting, you’ll stop posting?
When you stop commenting, I’ll stop replying to you. But I won’t stop posting.
What brings you back to a community (all of Lemmy as you say it) that actively rejects you?
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?
I stand by what I said.
And Lemmy is becoming Reddit lately. lmao
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.
That’s how you read that?!
Dude, 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
Something keeps bringing you back to shout into the downvoting void.
I’m responding to your comments.
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 tho Lemmy says the world is gonna end soon. (it won’t end anytime soon)
Go Raiders, by the way. Go Knights. :)
hen you don’t seek to understand those you don’t agree with
Which is exactly how Lemmy is with conservatives and their points of view.
I don’t think you understand Lemmy, you dismiss it as locker room talk.
It is locker room talk. Dude, no one has even fucking heard of Lemmy. How many users are on Lemmy total? Maybe few hundred thousand? Not even a fucking dent against reddit, and most people in the real world don’t even take Reddit seriously.
You vastly overestimate the reach and influence that Lemmy has on the real world.
Anyone have real numbers on how many users Lemmy has? I don’t know right off, but it’s small. Very very small.
Oh and I just used that joke on my gf, and took all the credit. She rolled her eyes, then laughed. So just know that someone else laughed, but I took the clever credits. :)
Sure, but it’s fucking Lemmy. It’s a forum for shit-talk. It ain’t the real world. I don’t take it that seriously.
But reading the posts of some, and it’s like Depression-porn and doomscrolling-porn. Many on Lemmy seem to be happier being unhappy. lol
Ok, I laughed at that. You win the interwebs, guy!
Have my upvote! LMAO
I thought the democratic party was the party of inclusion and diversity? But you really think other people are blameless in this?
Things I do know: Lemmy doesn’t like conservative opinions Lemmy doesn’t like you
Truth! 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.
To make my point. I posted a science article to lemmy.world c/science (!science@lemmy.world) 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 scientific-minded, heh? LMAO
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.
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.
Good point! A bit of a a bait-y headline.
