I think it's important to downvote them and even make them feel unwelcome. You can't let Nazis and white supremacists in your communities because any community that doesn't kick out Nazis will eventually find itself overrun by Nazis fleeing communities that kick them out.

You don't need to argue or make a fuss, but make sure to downvote anyone who doesn't believe all people are born equal and that people have a right to choose what to do and who to love.

People downvote me all the time and I just think "well they're wrong, I've laid out my argument and they can't refute it". So I imagine Nazis feel the same way when you downvote them.

Edit: case in point

Imagine being able to justify yourself by finding commonality with Nazis.

That's.... not what they are saying. They are critiquing the strategy. If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn't mean we're all Nazzis.

I don't understand why so many struggle with addressing the message and are so eager to shoot the messenger. It's weird but really common on Lemmy.

He means that the nazis wont give a samb about the downvotes and that it would be better to be clear to their faces.

I couldn't take it anymore. I've had this alt for so many days now. I just got banned from a bunch of heir drumpfkins fluffer conservative communities today. I needed some entertainment to lift my spirits.

I watched a documentary about their ancestors while I commented freely. It's called Deliverance. You should check it out.

HilariousChaos’s conservative community is a safe space for thin skinned snowflakes you’re not missing much.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Oh I know. I've been fucking with them for a while now. On various alts. Just some days you know...

You got a purdy mouth

I do think anyone on Lemmy is probably smarter than anyone on Reddit. I was browsing a conservative sub today and while they were very few comments, most of them disagreed with the general direction of the Trump administration.

I don't think user intelligence has as much to to with it as foreign interference and astroturfing campaigns, since its a larger platform

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

And the bots. Don’t forget the bots.

How about having to hug a relative with a right wing shirt?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

"ha ha funny shirt! But can you imagine people BELIEVE that lie?!? Classic Uncle Morty!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't happen because I cut those people out of my life.

lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

that's like tankies or something

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

i'm not downvoting because i'm a tankie, but because misrepresenting them as right wing helps literally nobody
