If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

    You all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles! Lemmy has thrown around that word so much, it’s losing it meaning. That’s how much Lemmy has lost their way lately.

    I’m a native american/black dude with a jewish girlfriend. You all have lost your minds.

      HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status? Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News. Just look at your conservative posts, you barely post them anyway Dr BreitBart. This is DARVO right out the ass

        HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status?

        Nope. But it’s doubly offensive when someone calls me a Nazi, when Nazis would actively seek me out and destroy me if they were around. lol

        Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News.

        I was accused of being a Nazi lots when I was only posting AP News. I was banned from Lemmyworld c/politics because of posting news articles from legit orgs.

        Now, to post in c/politics there, you can only use approved and verified news sources.

        So in order for me to post there, all sources had to be approved. And they were. They don’t allow conservative-biased sources. Which is fine, cuz their community so their rules. So I followed their rules.

        But in the end, I ended up being banned. Wanna know why? Because they accused me of being a user called Universal Monk. Who I’d never even heard of before the ban.

        So they legit didn’t like the articles I was sending, accused me of being a nazi using AP News “propaganda,” but couldn’t really ban me for posting news articles from their own list, so they then decided I was someone else and banned me. For being someone I never even heard of.

        Feel free to look up the modlog. It’s public. You can see my posts there.

        So yeah, fuck all that noise. Now I’ll just post whatever I want. People can choose to read or not, I don’t care. :)

        DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I know the .world instance is toxic and sucks, but it is the biggest Lemmy instance, so it has a lot of pull.

          You were confused with the fediverse’s biggest asshole by accident? LOL, you went from “it’s their community” to “they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me.” You are a side show and a half.

            To make my point. I posted a science article to lemmy.world c/science (!science@lemmy.world) just now.

            It’s from phys.org.

            Non-political. Good legit article. About dinosaur findings. The article: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-air-pockets-bones-alvarezsauridae-skeleton.html

            Immediately got 2 downvotes. Within 30 seconds of posting. People downvoted because they don’t like my personal politics. Had nothing to do with the article.

            Not very scientific-minded, heh? LMAO

              I get the feeling you’re putting science as a whole before sociology here. It’s self preservation to push those that would damage the herd outside of the herd.

                Sure, but it’s fucking Lemmy. It’s a forum for shit-talk. It ain’t the real world. I don’t take it that seriously.

                But reading the posts of some, and it’s like Depression-porn and doomscrolling-porn. Many on Lemmy seem to be happier being unhappy. lol

                  That’s a hell of an opinion to hold. When you don’t seek to understand those you don’t agree with, you are perfectly ok with them holding onto dissonance that they very likely don’t have. I don’t think you understand Lemmy, you dismiss it as locker room talk.

                    hen you don’t seek to understand those you don’t agree with

                    Which is exactly how Lemmy is with conservatives and their points of view.

                    I don’t think you understand Lemmy, you dismiss it as locker room talk.

                    It is locker room talk. Dude, no one has even fucking heard of Lemmy. How many users are on Lemmy total? Maybe few hundred thousand? Not even a fucking dent against reddit, and most people in the real world don’t even take Reddit seriously.

                    You vastly overestimate the reach and influence that Lemmy has on the real world.

                    Anyone have real numbers on how many users Lemmy has? I don’t know right off, but it’s small. Very very small.

            you went from “it’s their community” to “they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me."

            Yes, both are true. It is their community. But they decided to get creative to get rid of me. And all I did was post AP News and Reuters articles. They are allowed to do that, but my point stands that I think the real reason I was banned was because they don’t like conservative points of view–regardless of the legitimacy of the source. Which is a form of censorship.

            I’m not banned from everywhere, so no biggie. I still post, so no biggie. But let’s not pretend that people don’t like me because I post fox news articles. Dude, come on now… You know Lemmy doesn’t like conservatives. It’s that simple.

            And you also know that Lemmy throws around words like “Nazi” and “fascist” way too much and in fact has started to dilute the power of those words. Which is too bad. Because Lemmy is becoming as hateful as the people they say they fight against.

              Things I do know:

              1. Lemmy doesn’t like conservative opinions
              2. Lemmy doesn’t like you

              Things I don’t “know”:

              1. Lemmy throws around “nazi” and “fascist” too much.

              Life is simpler when you tell other people what they know, not accurate, but simpler.

              I get why people throw those words around your posts but it’s absolutely not because of your sources. If anti-fascist sentiments offend you, then I have some news for you, friend.

                Fair point. From our conversation I assumed you would have seen that. My fault.

                I get why people throw those words around your posts but it’s absolutely not because of your sources.

                Yeah, what is something I have said in any of my posts that makes me a nazi or a fascist.
