Conservatives lie in their very word choices.
“Somebody pointed out I was wrong about something” = propaganda
“Conservatives lost” = it wasn’t fair
Stuff like that. Take the opportunity to talk about things in ways that leave the reader understanding more clearly when you see lying word choices like the ones in this screencap.
??? their guy put a literal neo-nazi in a position of power and they’re calling acknowledging this “propaganda”
Lemmy has already been affected. It’s actually worse than Reddit right now in my experience.
In what way
People are so fucking stupid. Liberals complain that Reddit is too conservative now. Conservatives complain that it’s too liberal. Well which is it?
thats that controversy feeding algorithim
It could be that people are just getting more polarized or at least more vocal about all political beliefs? Maybe? I’m not really sure, tbh.
depends on which sub you go to.
Its both because they pander to the popular, which is why anything thays actually useful, funny, or satirical gets banned on that site.
Like someone said below, it’s the mods that are the problem.
That’s the problem with reddit
Mods have complete control how left or right a given community is so you will always see the one you don’t like if you look for it
People are so fucking stupid. Liberals complain that Reddit is shit now because of the conservatives. Conservatives complain that it’s shit because of the liberals. Well which is it?
Slightly rephrased.
Cries about propaganda inside of a propaganda sub. r/Conservative users are an incredible bunch.
They need their safe space away from all those bullies 😭
Nah, they’ll probably flee to one of those alt-right dollar store reddit replacements that popped up a few years ago. Assuming they are still in operation.
getting spammed with Bluesky
This is such a weird sentiment. As though links to any information outside the walled garden is inherently worthless.
every subreddit has been astroturfed to the extreme
Hi, hello, yes. Welcome to the year 2016.
They equate bluesky with leftists because its where most peopme went when twitter got too racist, and because now a lot of subreddits have banned links to twitter altogether.
Generally (reddit) cons don’t even want stuff from outside their own sub, so it makes sense why they’d hate any bluesky links
I know the de facto attitude in the fediverse is to slag off Reddit, but I worry that they have a target on their back now. They are one of the last few big places online for Americans where left leaning and progressive thought predominates. It won’t surprise me if Ketamine Nazi/Trump and the MAGA crowd make them a public enemy soon.
Good, then they’ll come here. Only thing this place is missing is users.
I wouldn’t even say that. Lemmy feels pretty alive imho. But I guess if the rest of the sane reddit users come here, I would welcome them.
Actually I‘m pretty stoked for every antisocial media to become a fascist hellhole since its much easier to get them banned outright by the eu that way. ;)
Better interaction here, but lots of posts with 0 comments
Which I dont mind either. Thats how natural communication works. Not everything is interesting or worth discussing.
But I get it. Everybody likes different things. Thanks for mentioning it.
They’re already here, coming in hot with wonderful takes like
!conservative@lemmy.world if anyone wants to drop downvotes
According to .ml, .world is supposed to be an echo chamber, but yet allows shithole misinformation spreading comms like that
If you block Amoxtli then about 90% of conservative posts go away.
I prefer to tag rather than block so I can still call out/down out their BS
Also don’t forget that Kaboom guy too!
Kaboom’s account is from reddthat where they disabled down votes. I don’t think they have any clue how rejected their opinions are. Talk about snowflake.
If I picked an instance without downvotes for my agenda-posting account, I think on some level I’d know there were grumpy clicks headed my way
Thanks for the tip! Checked their post history and promptly blocked them.
“Thing That Obviously Exists and Has Existed Historically Isn’t Real”
Lol, the sub seems to be completely blocked on my instance. Hell yeah
Yeah, but the feed is full of actual articles like “Climate change is real and there’s so much proof” and “Clarence Thomas wants to end freedom of the press”
Welcome to Lemmy, shitheads, have some facts.
My instance doesn’t block very much, so I made sure to block that one myself.
No need to brigade other people for disagreeing with you. If their views are harmful, their community will get banned by lemmy.world so it’s not your problem.
My screenshot is literally of harmful misinformation
community will get banned by lemmy.world so it’s not your problem.
LMAO I’ve been waiting for that to happen for months
It’s hateful bs, but it isn’t harmful. It’s a stupid take on a current talking point from the orange admin. It’s not picking on anyone. Wait for the actually harmful stuff, like misgendering people and racism and simply downvote this particular dumbass comment. (I’m going by the headline / subj, as I’m already exhausted from this week’s bullshit.)
The kind of misinformation I posted a screenshot of (which btw is an actual “article” they’re spreading around) is how the groundwork gets laid for the “actually” harmful stuff, so in essence it is harmful because it will enable them to do far more harmful crap later. Or rather allow them to get away with it.
Ok, but it’s also easily debunkable, and you can’t moderate away stupid. What they posted isn’t illegal misinformation according to EU law. I’d rather they do their misinformation in a community here than on Twitter or Truth Social.
.ml complaining about being an echo chamber. I didn’t realize today was comedy day all around the political spectrum.
They can stick to !conservative@lemm.ee, I don’t mind them when in their own space. Crazies have truthless social anyway.
Nah fuck that they already have their own space and even whole platforms, Xitter, Facebook/Instagram, and “Truth” Social
I mean I left that cesspool a while ago, but reddit being to liberal has fuckall to do with why I left it.
Funny, that’s exactly the inverse of how I feel anytime I check in on Reddit, but I was subscribed to a lot of conspiracy subreddits.
They didn’t used to be like that 😢
r/thedonald really was a plague.
I’d imagine they don’t, because we’re likely lumped in with Bluesky. And if some do make it here, they normally get reported on main instances, and their instances would unlikely remain federated for long.
I guess they’re getting mad about arguing with themselves and are looking for the traditional captive audience they thought they had.
Lemmy is even worse. Can’t have any other opinion then what aligns with the leftist bluesky people or you’re down voted into oblivion. There is no room for nuance or a civil discussion. I don’t care I’m gonna be down voted and the orange man has some good ideas. I’m not from the US. Have a good day.
Not the lefitsts fault that Nazis suck.
WOW! Nazis are worse than leftists, but both of them suck. I’m not from the US too, anyone care to explain?
Your comparing people who want trans rights and universal healthcare to people who want to shoot pregnant women in the back of the head and load their children into ovens and gas chambers.
You people are only listening to your own echo chamber, sniffing your own farts all day. Bunch of snowflakes.
What’s your point?
That lemmy is way worse then reddit. There is some nuance and room for discussion over there.
I left reddit because I was banned for saying “People can vote.” I find more nuanced discussions and less censorship here, it’s just that in a free non-corporate space conservatism is just an unpopular ideology when one of their leaders does a Nazi salute at the conservative winning presidential inauguration. But go ahead, put on your boots and uniform and maybe your Father will give you a medal for owning the libs.
Oh, nice! I’m not yet banned from that subreddit!
Lets change that :D
That subreddit is an absolute dumpster fire of stupidity.
