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.

HA HA HA ha ha, you think your own race has anything to do with your nazi status?

Nope. But it's doubly offensive when someone calls me a Nazi, when Nazis would actively seek me out and destroy me if they were around. lol

Nobody called you a nazi for posting AP News.

I was accused of being a Nazi lots when I was only posting AP News. I was banned from Lemmyworld c/politics because of posting news articles from legit orgs.

Now, to post in c/politics there, you can only use approved and verified news sources.

So in order for me to post there, all sources had to be approved. And they were. They don't allow conservative-biased sources. Which is fine, cuz their community so their rules. So I followed their rules.

But in the end, I ended up being banned. Wanna know why? Because they accused me of being a user called Universal Monk. Who I'd never even heard of before the ban.

So they legit didn't like the articles I was sending, accused me of being a nazi using AP News "propaganda," but couldn't really ban me for posting news articles from their own list, so they then decided I was someone else and banned me. For being someone I never even heard of.

Feel free to look up the modlog. It's public. You can see my posts there.

So yeah, fuck all that noise. Now I'll just post whatever I want. People can choose to read or not, I don't care. :)

DISCLAIMER: Yeah, I know the .world instance is toxic and sucks, but it is the biggest Lemmy instance, so it has a lot of pull.

You were confused with the fediverse's biggest asshole by accident? LOL, you went from "it's their community" to "they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me." You are a side show and a half.

you went from “it’s their community” to “they used a bullshit reason to get rid of me."

Yes, both are true. It is their community. But they decided to get creative to get rid of me. And all I did was post AP News and Reuters articles. They are allowed to do that, but my point stands that I think the real reason I was banned was because they don't like conservative points of view--regardless of the legitimacy of the source. Which is a form of censorship.

I'm not banned from everywhere, so no biggie. I still post, so no biggie. But let's not pretend that people don't like me because I post fox news articles. Dude, come on now... You know Lemmy doesn't like conservatives. It's that simple.

And you also know that Lemmy throws around words like "Nazi" and "fascist" way too much and in fact has started to dilute the power of those words. Which is too bad. Because Lemmy is becoming as hateful as the people they say they fight against.

Things I do know:

Lemmy doesn't like conservative opinions
Lemmy doesn't like you

Things I don't "know":

Lemmy throws around "nazi" and "fascist" too much.

Life is simpler when you tell other people what they know, not accurate, but simpler.

I get why people throw those words around your posts but it's absolutely not because of your sources. If anti-fascist sentiments offend you, then I have some news for you, friend.
