Something funny is going on at Lemm.ee. The admin is suddently ban hammer happy too.
That and all the mods removed from here is kinds strange.
Anyone have any word on what’s up and why the drastic changes in attitude and all of the sudden bans?
**EDIT: **Actually I think I found the reason: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529 (!meta@ lemm.ee “It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required”)
Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.
Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.
Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.
Don’t let them silence you, guys. We should just move–not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.
EDIT: I’m not defending Nazi’s or Nazi salutes. I didn’t see the post and I haven’t seen any describe it other than “it was a Nazi salute!” Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?
Of course you would. I am totally aware that you all want this to be an echo-chamber with no diversity of opinion.
But that’s exactly why you lost the election AND why you all were so surprised that you lost. Because you refuse to pay any attetion to anyone who disagrees with you.
We’re not going anywhere. Maybe a new instance, but Lemmy is going to have conservatives on it. Accept it.
Or not. I don’t care either way.
You misunderstood, I’ve never wanted this to be an echo chamber. I came here looking for conversations but found that the echo chamber was already well established. I want the echo chamber and it’s supporters to fuck ALL the way off.
Please find a post anywhere in this community with a diverse opinion, god knows you never posted anything that tried to pop the bubble. It’s boot licking and cruelty all the way down.
All the posts are conservative, but the comments are supposed to be dissenting.
Agreed. So do you think a conservative community is the only echo-chamber on Lemmy?
I’m done entertaining you. Conservative communities on multiple instances are some of the most downvoted places in all of Lemmy because of their absolute refusal to be open minded in the face of actual Nazi-ism and fascism. Any such place should be unwelcome anywhere.
Because Lemmy is mostly democrat/lib. Not because all information posted by conservatives is bad. You all use the terms “nazi” and “facist” way too much. And many just use it as a base insult, without any other meaning.
When you see a brown duck, you call it a brown duck. I’m seeing Nazis and Fascists, so I’m using those words.
I’ve been anti-Nazi and anti-fascist in all my comments. They keep defending conservativism. Something tells me they believe conservative = Nazi, but as usual they’re projecting hard.
They’re victims. They have to be victims or their whole schtick doesn’t work.
It’s how fascists work. Always being attacked. Always on the defense. That way their deplorable actions are “justified”.
Cool. And that’s one of the reasons that Democrats lost the election. So keep doing that and see what happens next election too.
Democrats lost because Republicans ran a disinformation campaign to stoke fear and hatred among easily influenced Americans.
There is no reality in which I, or any decent person, will stop calling fascists fascists.
Assuming there is a next election, our nation will be in such steep decline, the pendulum will easily swing back to Democrats. It’s the American way. Vote in Republicans. Economy tanks. Everyone’s mad. Vote back in Democrats. Economy gets better. Republicans run another hate/fear campaign and get back in, tank the economy, rinse and repeat.
So nothing to worry about then, right? :)
Nobody has a problem with Conservatism, it’s the people actively supporting Nazis that don’t deserve a place. You didn’t vote for someone that’s currently supporting nazis, by any chance, did you?
So are you saying over half of America actively supports Nazis? Cuz Trump won. And if you couldn’t win against a “nazi supporter” what does that say about the Democratic party?
Yes.
Nope.
I mean, have you heard of 1930s Germany? Do you think it’s somehow impossible for a large portion of a nation (not half as you suggested) to be misled and manipulated into something horrible? Because it has literally happened before. All you really need is for a populist with no moral compass to take advantage of desperate people by playing to their hate and fear. Enter Donald Trump.
Cool. So again, are you saying over half of America supports Nazis and Fascists? So are you saying that America is a majority Nazi country?
Yes or no?
Again, it’s not over half. I’m not sure how you’re getting that figure. I think you assume that since slightly over half of VOTING Americans voted for Trump, that it somehow means over half of ALL AMERICANS voted for him, which isn’t true.
And yes, over half of VOTING AMERICANS voted to support literal Nazis and fascists. This has happened before in history. I’m not sure why you don’t understand that other than lacking a suitable education.
Of course I mean voting americans in this context. Come on, man… Do you think that I think people under 18 voted?!
So you all lost to Nazi’s and fascists. So what does that say about the Democrat party if you couldn’t even win against them?
We lost because the Republican party is REALLY good at running fear-based disinformation campaigns and a lot of Americans are not very smart and easily influenced.
Buddy, unless you’re extremely wealthy, we’re all going the same place together, which is down. We can hold hands if you want.
I disagree. I think they totally suck at it. I think the democrats just sucked worse. And many “on-the-fence” folks got tired of Democrats talking down to them and making fun of them just because they weren’t 100 percent on board with every dem idea.
And in fact, many democrat strategist have said the same thing since the election and are asking that Democrats lose some of the ego and elitism in order to turn things around the next election. And i agree with them.
Lemmy sure hasn’t learned from that mistake tho. I see many on Lemmy just outright making fun of anyone who didn’t vote for Harris–even if they voted a third party.
I honestly think you all need to lose another election for you to learn your lesson.
So they voted for an anti-democratic felon rapist who incited and insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election because Dems were being mean to them? Wow, they sound stupid as fuck.
I mean, you have to be pretty goddamn stupid to vote 3rd party in a presidential election. The 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before every election, then disappears again. And she got a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast. So there’s literally no way a 3rd party can win, so it’s pretty stupid to vote for them when democracy is on the line.
I honestly think you need a much better education than what you have thus far received.
Yet they won the election. So what does that say about the people who lost?
Yeah, I’m going to continue bashing people who voted for fascism. I don’t care why they did it, they had all the information and now our government owns us. Congrats, you got what you voted for. I hope you enjoy the hell you helped create before you get sent to the real one, bitch.
If you voted third party, you chose your feelings as you voted over the outcome of your vote. You don’t deserve sympathy if you’re too fragile to actually look at what your vote accomplishes.
I like what Trump and Musk are doing. Thank you.
Lemmy doesn’t even believe in Hell, so I guess I have nothing to worry about.
