Conservative communities on multiple instances are some of the most downvoted places in all of Lemmy

Because Lemmy is mostly democrat/lib. Not because all information posted by conservatives is bad. You all use the terms "nazi" and "facist" way too much. And many just use it as a base insult, without any other meaning.

Of course not. Nor which other accounts you use.

Which is why I explained it to you. Lots of people on Lemmy have more than one account. So you can't really judge based on an age of a user account unless they say they are new.

I've been on lemmy for a little over a year.

Which also talks about the reason all the mods were removed from this community today. Here is just one of the comments saying that, but there are others:

I haven't seen any of that. But I would ask: If you aren't conservative, then why be in a conservative community? You know you will disagree with everything posted. Wouldn't it be easier just to block it?

No one is banning conservative communities. they are removing nazi posts

And I am fine with that. But I am seeing a larger conversation, in the links provided where people are saying that there should be no conservative communities. As in literally saying, "There shouldn't be conservative communities allowed anywhere on Lemmy."

That's what I'm referring to.

The word “fascism” had been used a lot in regards to Trump - not because it’s a go-to insult, but because Trump is meeting every characteristic of the word.

Ok, but what about the number of people on Lemmy who use it as an insult as soon as they find out someone didn't vote for Harris?

What makes you think I have only been on Lemmy for 8 days? You realize that some people have more than one username, correct?
