Disagreeing with someone saying there is a genocide happening, when there is indeed one happening

That’s your mistake.

So two ministers of the actual israelian governement are now “two random dudes”.

Yes, just like MYG, a literal representative, is not indicative of US policy.

The core group against Israel, always, is the Muslim bloc and I was stoned and didn’t click your link.

I own that. My bad dude.

Opinion is irrelevant against facts: they are trying to expell the palestinian population from Gaza

This is not accurate, as easily understood by how poorly they would be accomplishing this objective, were it true. They have absolute military superiority and it would be easy for them to achieve that goal.

they even said it out loud two days ago.

This is not accurate. Some random guy that works for the government, saying something which may or may not translate accurately (see the thread here on lemmy for that discussion), is not significant. MTG, a sitting US Representative, talking about Jewish Space Lasers is also not significant, for similar reasons.

These misconceptions, even if they were true, do not excuse supporting Hamas.

Yes, that’s why I think you’d prefer Hexbear. You want to self-isolate, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Go nuts man. Live the dream.

I don’t think everyone here should leave. I think you, personally, would enjoy Hexbear more.

I don’t know why you don’t want to be happy.

Not agreeing with you does not imply support for genocide.

Don’t worry you can start your own server, just like everyone else who disagrees with you is supposed to.

I’m already on our server, Comrade.

You’re the one unhappy with new people

Nope. It was about as left-wing as Lemmy and if you said something that was demonstrably bullshit, 8 different people would tell you to fuck off

Early reddit was not left wing. It was techbro-libertarian. The famous Ron Paul “It’s Happening” gif comes from reddit lol.

I’d love for this place to be as openly welcoming as early reddit.

I understand you don’t like when normal people come into the frontiers, but that just means you’ll constantly need to find new frontiers.

Such is life for people who move to the frontier to be alone. You’re not unique, this has happened throughout all of human history, and it’ll happen to the fediverse too.

You’ll always have Hexbear tho. For want of a frontier, it’s easy to have an island.

On lemmy.world? That’s fascinating to me. Would you mind sharing some community names?

Yes. Brainstorming how to “redpill” people is one of the far-rights favourite past times, right up there with using slurs and obsessing about strangers having the correct opinons about their own genitals.

Cool then yes, if I could tolerate those people as much as I tolerate leftists, and thus hang out with them, I would make these same posts. I struggle to do that because when they speak I want to put a hammer through my skull.

Have you forgotten which one of us was having a big teary about not feeling welcome because this thread right here was too left wing? I’m fine where I am thanks.

You still seem to think this is about me, and it is not.

Yep. Growth and growth only. The user count goes up by one and we can pretend “bigger number means better”

It literally does. I support the fediverse and thus want it to grow. If you need a place just for you, you can find one that aligns with you or create your own.

Politics and News communities typically have to be heavily moderated

Strong agree, and I also agree that things will be tense and some leeway should be given. That’s not the line we’re walking here, though.

It’s not out of left field. Read the user names.

The dude who says “I’m not sure which one I am” has the username “Certified Black Guy” which is why the joke was made. They’re all replying to this

19-45 white male tech enthusiast and 19-45 white trans female tech enthusiast.

It’s a play on how the expectation was that the trans reference was between gender. Twist-on-expectation is a core conceit of many jokes.

You don’t have to think it’s a funny joke. It’s a hip shot, a shitpost.

I strongly suggest you re-read this comment thread and realize that it is not a News thread about Israel but rather a thread about how people here respond to takes they disagree with.

Because you’re the perfect example of what I’m talking about, and to grow this community (which the greater thread is explicitly about), you should be removed from it until you can fix yourself.

Hey look it’s exactly what I’m talking about

That might be relevant if my point wasn’t the hostility, rather than the disagreement. I don’t give a shit if you disagree with me - you’re allowed to believe whatever you want.

The hostility costs this place users, and this is a thread about advertising for more users.

Perhaps consider reading the entire comment before posting.

Maybe you should try jumping on Truth Social and suggesting they’d have a larger userbase if they’re were more tolerant of left wing views?

Does Truth Social have threads about wanting more people to join Truth Social? Because this is a thread about advertising for lemmy.

Why is it always “leftists” who are supposed to welcome any and all political views with a warm mouth?

Hexbear exists and you can join it.

What exactly are you offering in return

Growth. The thing this thread is about.

Do you have any source confirming that the average person cares about downvotes?

Asking for a source on this is silly. Go to any reddit thread.

I thought the topic was to show that redditors were talking about Lemmy

The thread linked is a person trying to convince people to come to lemmy.

Who cares about downvotes though, honestly?

Your average person cares very much, and this topic is about getting more of them to join lemmy.

This isn’t about how I feel about people being shits. I clearly don’t care. This is about growing lemmy.
