  • Yeah, much of the hate that Lemmy pretends to despise is on full show all over. I’ve been called a Nazi because of posting links to APNews.com articles that weren’t immediately critical of some republican initiative or something.

    On Lemmy, they are very much of “If you aren’t aligned exactly with us, you are against us. And a nazi pig!”

    So much for being open-minded and diverse, because diverse views are definitely NOT welcomed on Lemmy. Look at how many downvotes my post got. The guy told me to kill myself! lol He got a 2-day ban from his instance. I’ve been permabanned from instances for posting AP News articles. lol

    Look in this community and see if there is any Nazi stuff. There’s not. Not even close. It’s mostly just links to well-known news sources. Lemmy likes to call any news that they don’t agree with, PROPAGANDA, even if its from AP News or BBC or The Hill.

    I’m libertarian. I’ve been calling for a release of the epstein files since day one. But nah, according to Lemmy, I’m a nazi. Even tho I’m trans and have never posted (nor do I believe in) nazi rhetoric or nazi articles. lololol

















  • You do realize that NASA held a press conference on it, right? Feel free to click on the actual article for the full vid.

    The first lines of the article: NASA has announced the discovery of what it believes to be ancient microbial life on Mars. The new administrator for the space agency, Sean Duffy, said a sample collected by the Perseverance rover has been declared the ‘clearest sign of life’ ever found on the Red Planet.

    Feel free to look at other news sources if you don’t like this one.

    NASA legit said “this is the clearest sign of life on Mars” at the press conference–which is where the article title came from. If you feel NASA is clickbaiting you, please write to NASA directly.

    Many news orgs are reporting on it.


  • I don’t the poster that told me to kill myself and video it for him to laugh at was MAGA.

    Plenty of liberals are against opposing points of view. Lemmy for example, is actively hostile to conservatives, even tho not all conservatives are rich white guys and extreme. Plenty of minority and gay and trans conservatives. But Lemmy doesn’t wanna hear that and tries to run/bully conservatives off of Lemmy every chance they get.

    Just look at my original post that started this thread.






  • Thank you. Honestly. I used your message as an example to my bf of what kind of people Lemmy should be made of. People who are open-minded, even if on opposing sides of the political spectrum.

    In my experience most people are Lemmy are pretty cool, but I’m been noticing an uptick in extreme hatred from people who self-describe as “left.”

    I for sure don’t subscribe to everything he convervative party does, but in my little area, the conservatives have been cool and welcoming to me. Seeing a hateful comment like that was definitely a new thing for me. This kind of division is bad for everyone, regardless of political party.


  • Thank you.

    I’ve just arrived home from vacation and this is what I found when I logged in. My bf read it before I did and yelled out a “What the fuck?!” So I came to see what he was talking about and see that DM. My bf is very upset. Sucks because I was just talking up how great Lemmy is. And then he sees that message directed toward me. :/

    Very troubling that there are people like this on here.

    I reported the DM via the flag icon on the actual DM and sent a message to @ruud@lemmy.world an admin for .world, but I don’t know if that was the right person to report it to or not.
