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 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.
