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?
But aren’t trolls people, who for example, post things to communities they don’t agree with, just to be spiteful? Kinda like you’re doing right now?
Someone having a different opinion than you isn’t a troll. Someone who shitposts just to get reactions is a troll.
Nazis aren’t people.
Agreed. And just because someone is a conservative, doesn’t mean they are a Nazi.
But if you vote for Nazis…
P.S. You can replace “Nazis” with “Fascists”. Americans just use Nazi because it’s the most historically recent example of Fascists.
I don’t think Trump is a Nazi. He’s a capitalist. Which Lemmy equates with Nazism. And I disagree.
He’s a fascist. You don’t think so because you aren’t educated enough to see it.
I don’t think he’s a fascist either.
Yeah, it’s just because he’s a capitalist that we call Trump a Nazi.
There aren’t enough clown emojis in the world for you people.
Yes, I do believe that’s why Lemmy calls him a Nazi.
Why don’t you tell me some Nazi things he does
“Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.” - Donald Trump
“Jews are poisoning the blood of our country.” - Adolf Hitler
Nope.
I also said they were delicate. They spread misinformation, refuse to engage in good faith discussion, and remove comments they don’t agree with. They are trolls.
I haven’t seen any of that. But I would ask: If you aren’t conservative, then why be in a conservative community? You know you will disagree with everything posted. Wouldn’t it be easier just to block it?
I’m not so delicate that I can’t encounter ideas that I don’t agree with. I see it because it comes up in “all”. I post good faith comments and expect a good faith response, you know a conversation. I get misinform, lies and insults, then all of my good faith comments are removed. If it’s an echo bunker of misinformation and lies that doesn’t welcome opposing opinions then just be honest about it and make the community private,unless of course it’s just bad faith trolling.
But someone who posts an conservative article in a conservative community is under no obligation to have to discuss it. Many like it, post it, and move on.
And from what I see on Lemmy, that perfectly describes Lemmy as a whole.
Also, as far as I know, there is no way to make a community private. I WISH there was though. Or if there is, please tell me how to do it.
Yes, that is the definition of an echo bunker.
Parts of it, yes. It depends on the server and the community.
That’s easy. Go back to Reddit.
So if you can’t make a community private on Lemmy, why suggest it? And I’m already on Reddit.
You can make a community private by setting up your own server and making it invite only. That’s the joy of the fediverse.
We know.
Yeah, but there’s not way to set up a private community on a different server. Not every knows how to, or has the money to, make their own instance.
