    I don’t want to be in close proximity to fascists.

    I’m glad we ran them out.

    America should follow suit.

    I honestly have been loving the internet a lot more since we started quarantining the fascists in twitter.

    They can only leave to join a new community when they grow out of their edgy teenager phase. Otherwise they get ostracized.

          Yeah, but not because they hate the genocidees, it’s because they love the genociders.

      Conservatives and tankies both love authoritarians, but mostly exclusively different ones, so they tend to hate each other.

        That’s why I plan to leave to PieFed once it’s mature enough. They’ll still be around, but I won’t be using a platform developed by them.

    Most so called conservatives I saw here were actual racists or people who can only live and feel good by hating other marginalized groups. And these people are definitely not wanted here.

      Yes, the hateful assholes the economic conservatives tolerated for their support took over the conservative space.

        Exactly. If a bunch of Nazis took over my groups, I would leave those groups.

        Anyone who still calls themselves “conservatives” or tries to associate with them is either stupid, stupidly uninformed, or a nazi.

        That’s not to say I hate the people currently leaving those circles, but like… cmon. What took you so long??

    They want to remain in their small, closed off bubbles. Experiencing different social networks beats the purpose.

    If you feel unwelcome on lemmy, it’s probably because you’re not welcome here.

      I know you’re referring to the folks referenced in the topic, but it’s best not to put that as a general statement. I’m not going to comment on political inclusivity, but there are still ways to be more inclusive and broaden perspectives. For example, a lot of women feel unwelcome here, and probably a lot of people from the disabled community, among others.

    Good, fuck 'em.

    I used to lurch into conservative subreddits routinely. Each one turned into an openly fascist circlejerk and banned all dissent.

    The value for conservatives in social media comes almost entirely from being able to antagonize people who don’t want to interact with them.

    Once you strip away the “making the libs cry” aspect of conservative social media, they lose all interest in talking to each other. That’s why Parler failed, that’s why Trump’s blog failed, that’s why these people won’t just leave these platforms they hate so much.

    And that is the underlying principle behind their hysteria toward “cancel culture” and deplatforming. They aren’t upset at losing the right to speak (nor have they lost it). They’re upset that they’re being deprived of access to a captive audience of non-conservatives to upset.

    It’s not advocacy for free speech, it’s advocacy against the freedom of association.
