    So to everyone calling me a troll: what is trolling about my behavior?

    I post news articles from major news orgs. Some of which happen to be pro-conservative. That’s not what trolling is.

    I don’t advocate violence. I don’t advocate anything racist. I don’t advocate anything radical. That’s not what trolling is.

    I fucking post news articles. That you don’t have to read.

    The conservative articles go to conservative communities. The socialist articles go to socialist communities. Most of my posts go to MY OWN COMMUNITIES! That’s not what trolling is.

    Lemmy IS NOT a liberal-only online forum.

    You all being mad and calling me a “troll” just because you don’t like articles about trump is hilarious to me. I have asked you all several times to just block the conservative communities I post in, and then you won’t see any of them.

    Being mad just because I didn’t vote for Harris is a ridiculous reason to call me a troll. I didn’t vote for Trump either.

    Ya’ll need to calm down and not take Lemmy so seriously! lol

    You are allowed to create your own liberal communities. I am allowed to create my own conservative communities.

    Even though I’m not conservative, I feel they have a right to partake in Lemmy.

    And I’ll help them do that. Cool?

    Thanks, friends!

      Sure, if the instance the comms are on allows it, they have that right. Of course, looking at the member numbers, doesn’t look like any of them are taking you up on the offer for a safe place. I’ve heard the term echo chamber before, but you don’t even have enough people for that.

        So then it’s a win for you, right? I mean, I do my own thing and no one shows up. So cool

        So instead of trying to get me banned, shouldn’t you just be laughing that no one cares about me? No reason to start entire threads about me, since no one cares, right?

        No reason to be scared of little ole me. The guy no one shows up for.

        And if there is a place for conservatives, and no one shows up, then win-win for you. Because Lemmy’s can say “Hey we don’t discriminate, there are places for conservatives!” And since no one goes there, then you don’t have to worry about it.

        So no reason to be upset with me, right?

        I just talking into the void to an audience of one. Right?

        Shouldn’t the tone of this thread be, “hahaha Universal Monk is nothing! Look, no one is listening to him! How pathetic!” instead of "He’s dangerous, we gotta get rid of him. He’s ruining Lemmy!"

        Right?

          I’m not trying to get you banned. I don’t give a shit about you, other than finding a momentary bit of amusement at how sad and lonely the whole thing looks.

            And I appreciate you saying that. Read the whole thread. You’ll find yourself in the minority when it comes to your banning opinion.

            Now as for sad and lonely, then again, I’d argue that there is nothing to fear by having me be here.

            Also for context, I’m retired early, I’m fit and healthy with a gf and a social life that is more active than I would prefer. There is nothing sad or lonely about my life.

            I like the idea of Lemmy. I like posting on Lemmy. And I think all points of view (as long as legal) should be allowed.

            I don’t take any of this shit seriously though. lmao I even have a selfie on my slrpnk instance of my name in a workout community I started.

            The other people in this thread need to take shit less seriously though. lol
