Interesting that I never go to groups dedicated to liberal, progressive, or democrat party discussion and argue with people there. But then again I actually have a life. And I don’t really care what THEY think I just want to be left alone.

If only Republicans could leave me alone with their shitty policies…
As for being annoyed that people come in and talk…this is the internet equivalent of being in a public space. If the administrative people of this place don’t want people to come in, they can ban people.
(Also, this place literally appears on the Hot page, essentially inviting any random person in. Maybe try like a closed Facebook group or something if you are bothered by dissenting opinions)
The problem for conservatives on most social media is that the conservative sticks to the groups that they enjoy. The leftist must go to groups where those who are opposed to the left gather. The big problem with lemmy is a policy of “flaired” that reddit has. If lemmy had this policy then only those who show that they are conservative would be allowed to post and comment.
That’s funny because there are basically 5 conservatives on Lemmy. It doesn’t seem like most people want to see this type of content here. So in typical conservative fashion, you’ve done exactly what you’re claiming “the left” feels a need to do: you’ve come to a place where people opposed to conservatives gather. And your solution is to wish for pre-emptive censorship? Right.
Think about what you just wrote. Lemmy like all social media sites is overly stacked to the left. Yet even with that leftists still feel the need to infiltrate conservative sites.
I’d encourage you to think about this. It’s amazing how consistently conservatives can miss the point when it’s right in front of their faces or even their own words.
For one, Facebook and Twitter sure as hell are not “overly stacked to the left”. Facebook’s top publishers and links for years have been people like Dan Bongino. The idea Twitter ever “censored” conservatives or the admin pulled for the left was the usual conservative persecution whining. It sure isn’t now.
So you say Lemmy is a leftist space but you have chosen to, in your terms, “infiltrate” it to spread your confused messages. That’s precisely the topic we’re addressing. Leftists are not “infiltrating” a “conservative site” simply by responding to this crap when we see it on the front page of Lemmy.
Oh you mean how they banned all the factual news of the Hunter Laptop? Right?
I suppose you don’t read actual news but the laptop thing and the various other accusations were found to be complete bullshit… based also on testimony from a guy named “Alexander Smirnov”. Huh. I’m sure this is omg deep state or something though.
The idea that Hunter Biden gave his laptop to a legally blind guy who happened to be friends with Giuliani, who then kept the laptop for months before saying anything to law enforcement, has always been worse than a stupid joke. If you believed that, good luck. If Twitter removed the libelous manipulative bullshit about it from their site, good.
wow even with all the evidence, you still believe the lies. Even after the FBI came out and said YES it was Hunter’s laptop
The laptop lacked a clear chain of custody - I’d say the same to you, after all of the ridiculous bullshit, you seriously think it means anything? It didn’t show any real evidence of crimes and the fact you’re “HUNTERS LAPTOP!!” is pathetic.
You really think conservatives never go to “leftist” spaces ever? That’s a patently absurd thing to say and you know it lol
As for lemmy’s problems with flaired users…sucks I guess? It simply isn’t a feature of the platform at the moment and there’s little to be done about that (save for simply stating you must meet X requirements to post and any dissenting opinions catch a manual ban). My recommendation still stands that you can simply go elsewhere, like a private Facebook group or somesuch if you hate being challenged on your ideas.
At the same time, do conservative news outlets not constantly rail against so-called “safe spaces?” I’m personally of the mind that one’s political views are one of those things that must be constantly tested by competing political views. One of the greatest ways to enhance one’s understanding of their position is by being constantly challenged and being forced to defend it - only then does one have to take a more critical view of their ideas.
Simultaneously, political views are not something that exists in a vacuum, especially in a democracy. You are forced to hear (and live with) opposing views and policies constantly, just as I’m forced to live with yours. Is it not absurd to reject that reality by demanding opposing views don’t interact with you?
