I also said they were delicate. They spread misinformation, refuse to engage in good faith discussion, and remove comments they don’t agree with. They are trolls.
Comment on Why were all the mods removed from this community today, leaving it un-modded?
barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf 3 months agoBut aren’t trolls people, who for example, post things to communities they don’t agree with, just to be spiteful? Kinda like you’re doing right now?
Some having a different opinion than you isn’t a troll. Some who shitposts just to get reactions is a troll.

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?
MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m not so delicate that I can’t encounter ideas that I don’t agree with. I see it because it comes up in “all”. I post good faith comments and expect a good faith response, you know a conversation. I get misinform, lies and insults, then all of my good faith comments are removed. If it’s an echo bunker of misinformation and lies that doesn’t welcome opposing opinions then just be honest about it and make the community private,unless of course it’s just bad faith trolling.

But someone who posts an conservative article in a conservative community is under no obligation to have to discuss it. Many like it, post it, and move on.

And from what I see on Lemmy, that perfectly describes Lemmy as a whole.
Also, as far as I know, there is no way to make a community private. I WISH there was though. Or if there is, please tell me how to do it.

Nazis aren’t people.
barrygoldwater@lemmy.wtf 3 months ago
Agreed. And just because someone is a conservative, doesn’t mean they are a Nazi.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 months ago
But if you vote for Nazis…
P.S. You can replace “Nazis” with “Fascists”. Americans just use Nazi because it’s the most historically recent example of Fascists.

I don’t think Trump is a Nazi. He’s a capitalist. Which Lemmy equates with Nazism. And I disagree.
