IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don't really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.

I think we dont need conservative communities on lemmy, we can do without them

[–] [email protected] 71 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think modern conservatism is a sign of deficient cognitive ability and lack of empathy, but I don’t think we should outright block them. That’s the sort of thing they advocate. If they’re celebrating a nazi salute, sure. Let’s get rid of them. But we should be better than they. Of course, this makes me sound like a lib when I’m actually a Leftist, but I’m just trying not to discriminate.

Rightwing people: you suck for delivering us this living hell.

The biggest issue is that EVERY community they've formed in the past has ended up as nothing more than an echo chamber for them to justify their OWN views and eventually censoring ANY form of external input.

maybe the key is forcing them to interact with regular people who don't like them, idk. i'm old and tired and getting older and tireder by the day. just force them to face consequences for their bullshit over and over until they get it. make a shitty community? disband the community. make a shitty meme? remove the shitty meme. be a shitty person? ban the shitty person.

Best I can give you is resigned condescension.

maybe the key is shooting them all to Mars.

I’m ok with conservatives that aren’t conspiracy-driven. They can’t seem to self-moderate though. Anti-vax, and odd religious beliefs that they choose to impose on others is where I would draw the line.

Lots of people on the AskConservatives sub reddit for instance are against a lot of what has occurred in the last month.

I don’t know how to possibly moderate a community like that.

Are you OK with conservatives that are anti-LGBT+, for example? Conservative is an umbrella that includes a lot of bigotry, I'm not sure we should really pretend that is worth defending or tolerating, particularly with regards to the context of the pro-LGBT+ Blahaj instance, who hosts many people who are victimized by conservative ideology. Sure, conservative lemmy instances exist, but you are in the Blahaj meta community, and the question is how we should relate to those communities and instances that oppose our existence ...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

I'm not. They're the ones outlawing abortion and trying to eliminate trans people. They're the ones that are okay with discrimination and bigotry. They're the ones okay with rounding up immigrants and sending them to camps. There is no reason to tolerate their intolerance and their ideology is based upon oppressing anyone that isn't male, rich, and white.

Conservatism is inherently anti-trans. I’d rather not have anyone on lemmy argue against my right to self determination.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A lot of conservatives don’t care about gender.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

‘Don’t care’ often means that they don’t want to acknowledge our existence and thus block measures that make our existence possible like trans healthcare or anti discrimination laws. Effectively it’s the same as being anti-trans.

.world also has a Conservative comm just as disgusting as the .ee one

I don't know why neither has been removed, in both comms nearly every single post is well into the negatives haha

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

Pretty sure a majority of .world blocks them or hate downvotes them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

I just reported that there's no moderation on that community.
