Everyone on the right already quit Reddit a couple years ago and migrated to sites like patriots.win or forums.red.
The only people left on reddit are the extreme left. When they quit reddit en masse, they’re going to create a left circlejerk website. There just aren’t a critical mass of conservatives left on Reddit anymore, because they would have left already.
In terms of economics, I am sure that is the case, but not in terms of social policy.
Occasionally Sweden or the Netherlands will beat us to the punch on some progressive issue nationally… But few people beat California, Washington, or Oregon to the punch when it comes to local social progressivism.
On the other hand progressive/social justice people are overwhelming intolerant and allow basically 0 discussion. You’re with them or you’re not. They can’t see they’re part of the problem and I wish they’d just shut the fuck up already and point their hate at the corporations that have grown to big to allow people willing to do the work to grab their fair share. Distracted fighting each other while “crony capitalists” keep running their game. Fucking stupid.
And that is why I think even some of the Left is going to come here to post eventually.
It’s just too catty and boring to be on some of those sites.
I feel ya, I’m not American so Trump is irrelevant to me. At the most I like his ability to make people angry for dramacoin. At the worst he should just fuck off already. I am here for level headed bantz and good jokes.
The problem is that what I’ve heard is that Lemmy doesn’t have a moderation tool to do that. In principle I dislike defederation because I want to be able to see anything I want, but if they don’t have any less extreme options it’s understandable.
I have posted “racist” content… I am the guy who posted the article questioning the Emmett Till narrative, lol, and I know that you found that upsetting. But I have seen you talk about the real answer being to address racism, to dilute content on instances with racism, etc., and I remember when you posted at wolfballs occasionally (I was a different name there) and I did appreciate all yuor content there…
… I think what got us more into trouble is people were kind of looking to post the most extreme memes and even crosspost to other instances to get a rise out of them and it worked.
Lemmy.world was full of the biggest pussies Reddit had to offer. I thought it would be like Reddit in 2011 but nope, it’s wankers all the way down crying when you say maybe it’s not healthy to watch your wife getting gangbanged every night.
Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)
It seems that expressing moral objections to the sexual perversity normalizing agenda is sufficient to get you banned from most instances.
Oh no, did the gay thoughts get You again?

“Extreme left” is a wild take. In Europe the US’ left is considered center-right.
In terms of economics, I am sure that is the case, but not in terms of social policy.

OK, what do you think is wrong with the statement?
Right, which is why us putting so much stock into the Fediverse after the reddit fallout is kind of… wrong. And we are learning that.
Except we can say that you and a bunch of other users found us, and that has been absolutely fabulous.

Are leftists a monolith to you?
the extremist faction is. they are a literal cult. they don’t tolerate dissent, and the more power they have, the less dissent they tolerate
Extremists are always bad though. We can’t blame the whole for them. That’s what’s happening with this instance. Do you agree with that?
no

I’m a lefty (not American, not liberal party).
I’m sorry I made you look up a word. What words do you like to use that you feel get you pounced on?
deleted by creator
I would like them to come and stay in whatever numbers they like!
… OK< NGL< if I started getting trolled and harassed here that would be lame, lol, but I like a good debate. ^^

what do you think of the democrat kennedy?

Hmm. Well, that’s too bad, but I could see why racist posts would make them upset.
Splattering racism everywhere is akin to being antagonistic. Free speech is good, but don’t be shocked if people block instances with racist spam.
I respect this sentiment but I also do not believe in doing stuff to police the content that is posted that is racist in terms of deplatforming…
Removing from the front page? By all means.

Racism was in the linked post, someone was making racist posts and that’s why we got blocked

I personally agree but racist content is awful. Can’t fault anyone for defederating because of it.
If this instance behaved itself a lil bit more, we wouldn’t be having these issues.

Drunk driving is worse than racist posts.
Irresponsible narcotics use is worse than racist posts.
Lots of stuff that people end up engaging in anyways.

I could see why they wouldn’t want to play whack-a-mole tho, if they were concerned other users would post similar content
deleted by creator
I’m trying to post here more often with the recent wave in new Lemmy users. Are there many instances that block this place?

🤣 hahah i’m dying…
here’s another thought, whenever defederation happens enough so that you need an account to post to the “approved” lemmy instances, if desired:
maybe make whatever your username is atexplodingheadsdotcom in your username (if its not too long)
example for op: maga_forceatexplodingheadsdotcom
however make sure to post content that does not break any rules on other instances
Not a bad idea
this would be kind of why I like free speech, to the other post that was saying they removed some kind of “slur spam” - then this happens
I guess there’s a disagreement about where people draw the line

Fuck lemmy.world I thought that they are a good instance but they have deceived me
Unrelated but I love that domain name
