If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.
I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.
And the sources you want indicate who you always were.
You all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles! Lemmy has thrown around that word so much, it’s losing it meaning. That’s how much Lemmy has lost their way lately.
I’m a native american/black dude with a jewish girlfriend. You all have lost your minds.
Oh christ. This isn’t reddit. Stop saying reddit shit.
I stand by what I said.
And Lemmy is becoming Reddit lately. lmao
nazi digg can keep their nazis.
Where are the nazis on Digg and Reddit? I don’t see them.
Oh, fuck off with this ridiculous lie.
Reddit coddles nazis. Then they get to lemmy and expect the same treatment.
Then they whine that they get called nazis for posting nazi shit.
I disagree. but anyhow, we aren’t Reddit yet. so relax.
No. You know reddit is full of nazis.
And you want that for lemmy. Which is why you spam nazi shit like brietbart.
HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status? Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News. Just look at your conservative posts, you barely post them anyway Dr BreitBart. This is DARVO right out the ass
Nope. But it’s doubly offensive when someone calls me a Nazi, when Nazis would actively seek me out and destroy me if they were around. lol
I was accused of being a Nazi lots when I was only posting AP News. I was banned from Lemmyworld c/politics because of posting news articles from legit orgs.
Now, to post in c/politics there, you can only use approved and verified news sources.
So in order for me to post there, all sources had to be approved. And they were. They don’t allow conservative-biased sources. Which is fine, cuz their community so their rules. So I followed their rules.
But in the end, I ended up being banned. Wanna know why? Because they accused me of being a user called Universal Monk. Who I’d never even heard of before the ban.
So they legit didn’t like the articles I was sending, accused me of being a nazi using AP News “propaganda,” but couldn’t really ban me for posting news articles from their own list, so they then decided I was someone else and banned me. For being someone I never even heard of.
Feel free to look up the modlog. It’s public. You can see my posts there.
So yeah, fuck all that noise. Now I’ll just post whatever I want. People can choose to read or not, I don’t care. :)
DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I know the .world instance is toxic and sucks, but it is the biggest Lemmy instance, so it has a lot of pull.
You were confused with the fediverse’s biggest asshole by accident? LOL, you went from “it’s their community” to “they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me.” You are a side show and a half.
To make my point. I posted a science article to lemmy.world c/science (!science@lemmy.world) just now.
It’s from phys.org.
Non-political. Good legit article. About dinosaur findings. The article: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-air-pockets-bones-alvarezsauridae-skeleton.html
Immediately got 2 downvotes. Within 30 seconds of posting. People downvoted because they don’t like my personal politics. Had nothing to do with the article.
Not very scientific-minded, heh? LMAO

I get the feeling you’re putting science as a whole before sociology here. It’s self preservation to push those that would damage the herd outside of the herd.
Sure, but it’s fucking Lemmy. It’s a forum for shit-talk. It ain’t the real world. I don’t take it that seriously.
But reading the posts of some, and it’s like Depression-porn and doomscrolling-porn. Many on Lemmy seem to be happier being unhappy. lol
That’s a hell of an opinion to hold. When you don’t seek to understand those you don’t agree with, you are perfectly ok with them holding onto dissonance that they very likely don’t have. I don’t think you understand Lemmy, you dismiss it as locker room talk.
Yes, both are true. It is their community. But they decided to get creative to get rid of me. And all I did was post AP News and Reuters articles. They are allowed to do that, but my point stands that I think the real reason I was banned was because they don’t like conservative points of view–regardless of the legitimacy of the source. Which is a form of censorship.
I’m not banned from everywhere, so no biggie. I still post, so no biggie. But let’s not pretend that people don’t like me because I post fox news articles. Dude, come on now… You know Lemmy doesn’t like conservatives. It’s that simple.
And you also know that Lemmy throws around words like “Nazi” and “fascist” way too much and in fact has started to dilute the power of those words. Which is too bad. Because Lemmy is becoming as hateful as the people they say they fight against.
Things I do know:
Things I don’t “know”:
Life is simpler when you tell other people what they know, not accurate, but simpler.
I get why people throw those words around your posts but it’s absolutely not because of your sources. If anti-fascist sentiments offend you, then I have some news for you, friend.
Truth! lmao
Fair point. From our conversation I assumed you would have seen that. My fault.
Yeah, what is something I have said in any of my posts that makes me a nazi or a fascist.
