New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I’m newish to the fediverse. I’m digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter
Same thoughts here, and I personally don’t like things this way :)
Politics (and Lemmy) showed me how low people can be in order to triumph their own party, It’s gross…
on Reddit I couldn’t tell if the person I’m replying to or them replying to me are leftists, centrists, or whatever… that’s diversity not being able to predict people, and read them like an open book, because you don’t know who they are, what their Philosophy In life is, they’ll surprise you with their opinions… On Lemmy however… I can tune my politics slider however I want, I know what political comments are going to get upvotes and downvotes, or get censored, or get the user banned… And no, they’re not offensive, just not politically correct…
I feel like I’m not taking freely as I used to do on Reddit, ironic but true, conservatives gets downvotes here, that’s an understatement, they get flamed and called Nazis… which I never saw happening on Reddit, people had debates and discussions like yanno… grown ups!
I remember I replied to someone, and basically said I’m not convinced about their political comment, It doesn’t matter… But this girl replied to me and started saying I’m just like Donald Trump a Liar… lol… Ok… I said Yes, I know he’s a liar…( I do ) then she wanted me to be an ally (like I guess politically aligned)… And I was like to myself… I’m I being drafted or something ?!
What makes this all super duper awkward, is that I’m from the middle of no where, I live in the sahara desert… anyways I rambled… the point is … people on Lemmy need to chill with their political stuff, not everyone who disagrees is an enemy or a “Nazi”… or looking for a fight… Many times people (Normal people) just want feedback… And it kinda triggers me to see people obviously having blind spots, yet insisting on their bias…
What a fucking whinge
sure… 😮💨
