      In what universe are MAGA less censorious? Have you looked at their subreddit? they LOVE censorship.

      Just because the left tells you to stop being an asshole to minorities that doesn’t mean censorship. It means you should stop being an asshole to minorities.

        Lemmy is the most censor happy media I’ve ever engaged in. Sure, we can cherry pick subs like /r/conservative, /r/latestagecapitalism, /r/pyongyang, etc., but my overall experience with lemmy has proven quite the echo chamber.

        Look at our (dead) /c/conservative comm. Nothing much crazy there, certainly nothing hateful or bigoted. Blasted into the sun. Hell, there were many articles and posts that deserved thought and comment. Nope. Straight into the sun. Even a brand new post, with no politics in the headline, downvoted at birth. I swear there were people patrolling and downvoting every item they saw.

        But no, lemmy’s too smart to fall for that horseshit! For those that agree, let me point you to an old friend of mine:

        “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

        ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

        That’s the most famous line, but y’all should read the whole book. Short as can be, yet packed with wisdom as to how to fight, and mostly, how avoid fighting and still win.

        Tellingly, the last and most important chapter is “The Use of Spies”. But you guys are too smart to listen to the other side, let alone spy on them. Keep winning?

          Spending time reading, and arguing, with idiots online is a complete waste of time and energy.

          Why am I doing it at the moment? Laid up with a bad back. Literally can’t do anything else.

          Your account of censorship densities means very little to me. You are an enemy asset who doesn’t realize that “ya’ll” immediately makes me tune out the bulk of what you said. As in, I’m not even going to skim any more of it.

          It’s just history. That’s all we’re seeing. This shit unfolds over and over again, just to a slightly different tune.

          Nah. There probably isn’t a single GOP fascist out there, at least to their own minds. They’re just going with what makes sense, gets them power. Unfortunately we’re at a time where fascism is what gets them power.
