You're describing Lemmy. In this very thread there are people saying that conservative communites shouldn't be allowed on Lemmy. LMAO
And I didn't see the nazi salute that started the shitshow. So I have no clue what happened with that other than the fact that it's been removed.
I guess the bigger question you should be asking yourself is why Nazis keep showing up in the conservative movement. Why conservative leaders court them for votes. Why conservative leaders are performing Nazi salutes at presidential inaugurations.
Weird how the left doesn't have a Nazi problem.
Can you expand on that for us?
I don't think they do. Most conservative people I know in real life don't like nazi's.
And I don't think Elon is a conservative leader. And I don't think he's a nazi. I DO think he did a nazi salute to troll everyone. And I do think that trump should have distances himself from him. But I'm not going to fucking cancel Trump just because him and Trump are friends.
Elon is a capitalist, not a Nazi. And he's a dork who will soon implode the relationship he has with Trump.
But I do love him DOGE'ing every fucking thing and slashing and burning all the govt programs. That's hilarious to watch.
He's an asshole, not a Nazi. And he likes trolling you all to see how pissed off you all get. And it works every single time.
Nazis are capitalists. The word privatization was literally invented to describe what the Nazis did. Elon also constantly says and tweets and does and agrees with nazi shit. If he isn't a Nazi then i am the god of Justice and karma.
Ok, but are all capitalists, Nazis?
No, but being capitalist in no way precludes nazism like you suggested
I didn't suggest that. I said that I think Trump is a capitalist, not a Nazi.
It doesn't matter what you think. Your opinion is not relevant on this subject. That white supremacists vote Republican is not up for debate. It is simple fact. There's a reason why we've seen an increase in public displays of white supremacy during both Trump's terms.
Then they should stop voting to support them or people will assume they are also Nazis/fascists.
Then you'd be wrong. He funded Donald Trump's campaign, is followed by MANY conservatives on social media, and now has a prominent role in a conservative White House administration. So, again, you are definitively wrong.
There is no reality in which you will cancel Donald Trump. You are in a cult. You are cucked.
Capitalists don't perform Nazi salutes on national television. Nazis do.
The fact that you are celebrating tens of thousands of federal workers losing their livelihood, many of whom are veterans, tells me what kind of sick individual you are. You are not a good person.
He's both.
Sounds like a child. Which means you and him have something in common.
I disagree with everything you said. I'm glad Trump is president. :)
That's because you are a scum incel that supports fascism in America.
LMAO
So it must not exist?
Its literally discussed in the post you linked in your edit. tf?
edit. Lets simplify this.
Do you support literal nazi salutes on the front page of this community?
Are you willing to speak out against nazis?
These are yes or no questions. They should be very simple.
I never said that. I said that I didn't see it, so I can't comment on it.
Sure it was discussed, but it didn't say what the image was. Was it a meme? I have no clue. What was the context? WAs it jsut a pic of Elon giving a nazi salute without saying anything?
Maybe you can describe it to me.
I do not. Never said I have. I simply said I didn't see the image in question.
Yep. But that doesn't mean that this conversation should lead to variations of "every conservative is a Nazi" nonsense. Becuase that's not fact. That may be your opinion, but that's not fact.
Hey, it's not my fucking instance. If lemm.ee decides to ban conservative communities, then hey, they can go for it. There are other conservative communites on lemmy.
I don't agree that they should ban them, but I do believe it's their right to do whatever they want with their instance. Just like I can do what I want with my instances.
No one is banning conservative communities. they are removing nazi posts. Not sure why you’re misunderstanding that
And I am fine with that. But I am seeing a larger conversation, in the links provided where people are saying that there should be no conservative communities. As in literally saying, "There shouldn't be conservative communities allowed anywhere on Lemmy."
That's what I'm referring to.
where are you seeing that discussion
https://lemmy.world/post/25674081
Which also talks about the reason all the mods were removed from this community today. Here is just one of the comments saying that, but there are others:
Ok so one random user stated that? Out of thousands?
Did you read the whole thread? You only seen one person saying that? Come on, now...
A handful? Do you think lemmy is made up of like, 10 users?
Do you think the majority of Lemmy users would like conservative communties on Lemmy?
How about this: You create a new user name. Then you and I will create a new Conservative community on Lemmy and be co-mods. After a month, tell me what you think about the general attitude Lemmy has about people who start conservative communities.
You'll be called a Nazi even if you don't post or comment on a single post. lmao
DM me, and let's do it. It'll be fun!
And we need some more conservative points of view on lemmy anyway, right?
Lets do it. Will you be removing every dissenting opinion, and only allowing breitbart posts? Will it be deep throating every single evil move trump makes?
Nope. I'll allow breitbart posts though. and you gotta promise not to remove posts unless they are literally saying nazi stuff. You can't just go, "wait, this isn't an anti-elon news article, so it's A NAZI POST!" and crazy shit like that.
I say we start a community, conservative-leaning (because there are already a shitton of liberal-leaning ones) and see what happens. I am fine having a non-conservative mod, so that we can hopefully overcome the whole "all the mods are nazi's accusations)
Should we start on a new instance or maybe see if we can take over the [email protected] instance since it has no mods right now?
Start it up. Invite me in.
Ok, let's do it. I'll message the mods and ask if we can have this one. And let you know it goes.
Also, your profile is this. Are you sure you are gonna be able to remain neutral in a conservative community? Because if all this is in bad faith, then let's not waste our time. I was being honest in my conversation with you.
Sure, fair comment. I can make a new account and make a genuine effort of being neutral.
Dont get me wrong - democratic party have made some seriously bad decisions. But at least they stayed within the law.
Yeah, I think the new account would be better, because for many people, if they look at your current account, they may see a bias and disregard what you have to say--even if you are right.
But again, only for the community. I have no problem with your main profile being as is. I don't agree with it, but I do support your right to say it.
ill DM you when I make it
For someone that's only been here for 8 days you sure do think you know everything about Lemmy
What makes you think I have only been on Lemmy for 8 days? You realize that some people have more than one username, correct?
Ah so you keep getting banned.
Even more ridiculous.
I haven't been banned from anywhere under any username I've used. I just explained why I change usernames ever few months.. Where did I ever say or show that I've been banned?!
Tho I DO expect to get banned a result of this conversation thread! lol
You keep saying that. Why would you banned for this thread? That doesn't make any sense.
I hope I don't get banned. but I keep saying it because the attitude on Lemmy lately has been very ban-heavy to conservative views.
Trust me, I'm more than happy to be wrong.
But I also get called a "troll" on a daily basis, even tho I have not said anything trolling. So meh, it's Lemmy, hard to tell what will happen.
If I do get banned, I'll just start another username though. I scrub my usernames every few months anyway, so no biggie.
Trolls usually have bad takes on things, that's why.
no one can magically know what other accounts you use
Of course not. Nor which other accounts you use.
Which is why I explained it to you. Lots of people on Lemmy have more than one account. So you can't really judge based on an age of a user account unless they say they are new.
I've been on lemmy for a little over a year.
so why are you now using a new account?
Trolling? Ban evasion?
I haven't trolled and I haven't evaded any bans.
Lots of people have mulitple usernames on Lemmy. For me, it's to protect my privacy and information from being all in one place. As are many others on here.
In fact, in the privacy communities, they recommend purging your username and creating a new one every few months. And I agree with that. And I do. And I will continue to do so.
Feel freel to check out the privacy communities and ask their thoughts on that subject.
Thats fair enough. But also, dont get upset when people question how long youve been on the platform when literally the only information others have is when you current account was created
I wasn't upset. I was merely pointing out that you have to be careful of assumptions on a platform like Lemmy that is so decentralized and focused on privacy.
Also you: "Multiple accounts?! I have no idea what you are talking about!"
