So I teamed up with Nickel≡x(φmod7919) and started another conservative community !conservative2@lemmyusa.com

The backlash hit fast. lmao See all the drama: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53271052

DM's and comments in other communties poured in accusing us of all kinds of things, none of them true.

All we did was make a space of links to things for people who share our political beliefs. But holy shit, did that make Lemmy mad!

I locked posts and made the community mod-only to keep it from getting flooded by hostile users who only want to derail and attack. It’s the only way to build a stable space without the constant chaos that comes from Lemmy’s extremist mobs.

They are furious that someone dared to be openly conservative are here on Lemmy. The same reason they hate the hilariouschaos community.

For many of them, political diversity only matters when it fits inside their own worldview.

They talk a lot about inclusivity and tolerance, but the way they reacted told a different story.

Downvotes hit before people even read what was written. lol

I won’t apologize for it. People should be able to hold different beliefs without being shouted down or erased. Lemmy be fucking crazy these days with the hate.

Blue MAGA is a thing for sure! lol
