MODERATORS
There are actually moderated instances that have similar views as yours, you should look at beehaw.org. No reason for you to be exposed to the content you are sensitive to if you don't want to. This is the beauty of lemmy in my opinion
Great point! I think beehaw is a wonderful place for those who want others to dictate what they see. This solves the problem for everyone, except those who are going out of their way to push an agenda on others.
Antifa members have commited actual crimes, including some that costed lives, and supported those who did so. They use terror tactics on a regular basis coercing and silencing others. Even though I think their behavior is more fascistic than any current far right organization, I don't think they should be banned or silenced. In any case, I don't expect them to be banned here in any shape or form because they support and enforce the message currently approved by every major public institution and corporation.
I'm pretty far left leaning, and I honestly hope the last part of Trump's life is spent in jail, but the fact is that a giant hunk of the US population is pro-Trump, and it seems insane to me to say that those people shouldn't be allowed a place to talk about their candidate as long as no other rules are broken. I'll just block the community and move on.
Okay, if The Donald is welcome here, and people are just coping by blocking, how about r/watchpeopledie?
Personally I detest Drumph and his Nascar possum farmer fans, but I loved seeing people eaten by escalators. If Lemmy's cool with the one, I'm recreating the other. I mean why not.
I'd happily live without the joy of gore, if it meant that flat earthers and conspiracy theorists weren't welcome either. But if the one is fine, then the other should be too.

If you don't like something, there is a block feature. It is good that the fediverse gains some diversity instead of staying an echochamber.

God please just stop with your whining. Just block them and be done with it. How self-centered can you be to demand defederation just bc you can't deal with a political worldview thats different than yours? Screw you dude.
I think we learned in January 6 that allowing these communities to exist online is more than just letting people express a different political worldview.
Found the Trump supporter.
Just wanted to throw some support for you out there, I'm not at all a trump fan but social media driven echo chambers are half the reason the worst political ideals are spreading. Unfortunately there's not an easy answer to this, but I don't think defederation is it.
