What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

I meant Lemmy as a whole. And I agree with you that we shouldn't be trying for that. I personally have been bullied and there have been plenty of attempts to push me out--all because I post links to news articles that have conservative points of view. Even when it's AP News, I get bullied. lol

Did not everyone immediately agree with you and applaud?

Poor thing.

I have never expected people to immediately agree with me or applaud. But diversity of opinion and thought is supposed the be the cornerstone of Democratic values. But it's not. Not at all. I have seen more bullying and hate in the name of Democratic values here on Lemmy than anywhere else in my entire life. LMAO

I doubt you would see that unless you were opposing Democratic values. Shit, you should see what happens if you suggest there should be living Palestinians.

Like what? Because friend, basically I would post an AP News article, and then get called a Nazi and told that I should be banned from the fediverse. My post history is public, see for yourself. lol

Whole lotta brietbart, americanthinker, pjmedia, dailymail.

Yep and AP News and Newsweek. You'll notice that the brietbart, americanthinker, pjmedia, dailymail postings didn't start till after I started getting the hate for AP News and Newsweek.

I figure if you all are gonna hate no matter what I post, then I can post from wherever I want. :)

And the sources you want indicate who you always were.

You all called me a Nazi. For posting AP News articles! Lemmy has thrown around that word so much, it's losing it meaning. That's how much Lemmy has lost their way lately.

I'm a native american/black dude with a jewish girlfriend. You all have lost your minds.
