Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They're intentionally shitty people. None of them have real political views because they are all still in middle or high school and don't have to pay bills and don't have real jobs. They're entire purpose is to troll. They just get on here and look at what anyone is talking about and take the opposing stance to be pricks. Those people would defend any given serial killer or fascist war monger if it meant someone got upset.

No no, it's not "trolling," they call it alternative debating!

A sad bunch, the lot of them.

Sounds like they're your run of the mill contrarian cunts

They're probably just Russia disinformation bot farms for all we know. If they are real people, that's extremely disappointing to me.

Be disappointed, because many of them are real people.

If you think that terrible people can't be adults with jobs I suggest you go downtown and eavesdrop on people wearing suits.

People can have “real political views” that are different from yours, y’know.

I think they’re crazy as well, but thinking they’re all just teenagers who don’t know any better is naive. Especially if you look at the US, you should know it’s full of adults with really horrible political views.

political views.

The people you're referring to are xenophobic and use the term "political" to mask their hatred. They wouldn't know politics if it bit em in the ass (which it's actively doing with every donation to the orange turd's fund)

You people just can't stop making shit up. Im really mad at reddit for forcing you onto the fediverse

Are you aware that Lemmy is written by people like that? I haven't checked, but I don't think that they're all teenagers.
