I'm no conservative [I'm a LibSoc/Anarchist], but I can see why they wouldn't want to be on Lemmy. It's not the most open-minded group of people. As soon as someone thinks even slightly different in some small way, they're labeled a fascist or some other pejorative as a way to end the discussion and critical thinking process to exclude constructively contemplating what was said. People can't just have reasonable debates anymore. Insults are thrown and groupthink becomes more isolated and heightened within their own dogma. And their communities are brigaded regularly. It happens on their side too. The human race just seems fucked.

It's not a matter of "fear", it's frankly a massive waste of time if you're seeking an honest & fruitful political discussion. Much like Reddit, Lemmy is one big-ass liberal echo chamber with only a handful of "acceptable" viewpoints, opinions. Anyone else is shouted down, slandered, and of course downvoted to hell. They stuff words in your mouth that you never said, assign beliefs to you that you don't hold. Arguing with these types is like playing chess with a pigeon; it'll knock over pieces, shit on the board, and strut all around as though it's the winner.

At time of writing, your comment stands at -18....and it is 100% true, factually correct. The irony.

The human race does indeed just seem fucked. 🙂🙃🙃🙃🙃
