Over in !conservative@lemm.ee I got banned for posting about Project 2025. They claim it breaks rule 2 which is to only post pro-conservative or anti-liberal posts. Fucking echo chamber over there.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same as r/conservatives was.

Projection is the game. You see these wackos all over YouTube bemoaning “my comments keep getting deleted” (which doesn’t seem true), yet go on their turf and they’ll happily silence you as that’s different.

Reminds me of “the only moral abortion is mine”. The only people being silenced is us, what we’re doing might look the same but trust me bro it’s not.

Oh you hear that whining non-stop on r/TrueUnpopularOpinion.

Wah this and wah that about being censored. But as soon as someone not them posts, then it's a downvote party including a bombardment of insults.

Free speech is what I want to say, not what you want to say. Duh, loser!

[–] HunterOfGunners@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Free speech gets lip service over there. I don't know why the admin tolerates that community.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You're free to say anything I agree with, unlike in those liberal channels where I'm censored for speaking my personal truth.

But you're not free to violate the terms of service of the contract you signed when you walked in. In very plain bold text I wrote "Don't say anything I don't like". And you agreed to it by being here.

So agree with me or GTFO.

Especially with how poor their moderation is. Wintermute regularly deletes comments they disagree with, Momo is left to insult people and rage with near impunity, and it regularly spouts misinformation/disinformation. It's an example of how NOT to run a community.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget their founder is banned from .world for promoting pedophilia.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck? Do you have a link or anything to when this happened?

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Check the mod log.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit. That place is a cesspit. Every post is downvoted to hell. What the fuck?

[–] HunterOfGunners@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy is pretty liberal. I downvote their posts when they end up on my feed but it's apparent I'm not the only one.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ironically the actual don't tread on me people are on the left.

Turns out we don't have to live under Reddit.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Turns out I don’t want anyone treading on anyone. I just happen to be a subset of the people I won’t stand for people treading on

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Wait, what? Why would they even deny it? It’s all of the issues they love to scream about. How is that something they would possibly think they could or should hide?

[–] mibo80@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What are the odds that place is run by a Russian...?

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I always felt that lemm.ee was more conservative (and capilistic). They seem less progressive, more modernist. The issue is it's hard to tell since it federates with other instances, so I mostly have to go by usernames made off that instance.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I joined this instance because .world made joining harder during the migration, I mean I'm not HARD left, but I doubt I count as conservative

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I see what you mean now. I meant I see many of the lemm.ee accounts as conservative compared to other instances (more Democrat than progressive). Of course I haven't done a scientific aanalysis, it's just an observation I made as I post and look at usernames. Obviously, it's not going to be everyone as Lemmy leans toward the progressive left.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I mean, I dont hate Landlords, so I guess I count as MORE conservative than the average lemmite... Lemming? Still not conservative enough to not take that as slightly insulting though xD

[–] fiercekitten@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

I joined lemm.ee during the migration and picked it because they didn't defederate too much with other instances. When they refused to federate with Threads, my choice to use lemm.ee was reaffirmed.

That's as political as my choice ever got. I personally lean fairly left.

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As a Radical Democrat (the philosophy not the party, although I am registered and vote dem) I am offended

[–] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Searching for radical democrat brings up Republican propaganda. Would you be able to explain what you mean by being philosophically "radical Democrat?"

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_democracy?wprov=sfla1

To me it boils down to the great quote, of John Dewey, "The solution to the ills of democracy is more democracy."

I want the institution of mass multi-seat electoral offices and the mass expansion of elected offices and the election of those offices via Multi-Seat STAR voting (rate your enthusiasm for all the candidates, the two highest average candidates go to a runoff that seats whoever is rated higher on more ballots, repeat with the two highest rated remaining candidates until all seats are filled)
