I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

    Uh yeah, people around here don’t tend to accept bigotry. Anybody who espouses racism/homophobia can get out. Which happens to be most conservatives. It’s not about being a conservative. It’s about being a piece of human shit.

      Even as I’m on the more left end, I’d say not all conservatives or right-leaning people are racist homophobic bigots, though. If anything, I’d say a sizable portion have a right-leaning non-discriminatory worldview, mainly economic.

      Admittedly, as much as I’m preferring the fediverse, it is definitely an echo chamber, Lemmy included.

      • Lowering taxes for the rich and cutting social services does not tend to have good results.

        Right-leaning economics does not make sense to me at all, beyond the emotional hook of “government stealing your hard earned money to give to lazy poor people on welfare”.

        But they still vote for homophobic bigots. If you sit at a dinner table with Nazis, what does that make you?

              No harm in calling out bigotry!

                  No I’m not. Why are you being so hateful and mean? That’s such a typical bigot thing to do

                    You clearly are a fucking far-right bigot asshole. I know you are a trolling far-right ass but it’s still ridiculous. “Hateful and mean” hahahaha, you are the one being a dumbass

            I’m not going to pretend that your anti-social values have merit just because you think they do. Even putting on the veil of politeness is too much validation for your childish ideas.
