I am seeing this pattern a lot lately, whenever a person disagrees strongly or expresses conservative/right wing views, they are told to go back to reddit.
You can say ‘Don’t bring these bullshit views to the fediverse,’ or something of that sort. I am a reddit refugee myself, and part of the Reddit API exodus. Being told to go someplace I just left due to ethical reasons feels bad. So, I want to understand why it is being used as a retort. Is it really rude, or am I making a fuss out of nothing?
Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse. I am questioning how telling them to go back to reddit is a valid response.
Edit2 : Edited the the title to better represent my question.
Redditors self-police their speech to fall in the window of acceptable debate. They are deeply brainwashed but have no idea of it because Reddit moderators ban anything not deemed “acceptable speech” by their media overlords. Hence they will spam the term “tankie” if someone for example tells them that killing the Iranian leader will only end up like killing Saddam in Iraq.
In the wise words of pedo-Zionist:
is he a pedo scientist tankie?
Somehow, it’s way easier to get banned here than over there, though.
Remember when CTH was banned for saying “kill slave owners”?
Ooooh I wanna try this.
Kill Slave Owners.
Murder Slave Owner.
Absolutely turbo murder kill slave owners in real life no cap.
It’s not if you know the forbidden Reddit terms. Try saying anything anti-Zionist on mainstream Reddit subs and you are banned in half a second by automated bots.
That actually got me a temp ban here once, as well.
It was even a nuanced “both sides are human” take, not Hamas is awesome. I know, I wasn’t expecting it for that either.
“Nuanced”Both sidesing in the face of a genocide? Condemning the oppressors and oppressed in equal measure? Do you not see the issue with that?Explains why they think lemmy is more ban happy than reddit. It certainly is, for genocide bothsiders.
I was trying to debunk someone pro-Israeli, so…
Both sidesing genocide is still bad even if you are “debunking” hard-line pro genociders. If your position is anything short of Israel shouldn’t exist it’s liberal Zionism. You should have nothing but support for the liberation movements of oppressed nations even if they don’t fit your pr standard.
Sure. Please explain that to whichever mod is the Zionist. Maybe I’ll actually speak out against it again, then.
I checked the modlog and you were very much banned for concern trolling about “Israelis being victims” while Gaza was getting flattened. You had another gem just before that where you fantasize about re-educating “brown folk”.
Should have been perma
No, you misunderstand. I was arguing against a Zionist.
You should have told then Hamas is awesome
