Comment on Why were all the mods removed from this community today, leaving it un-modded?

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.

Yes, that is the definition of an echo bunker.

And from what I see on Lemmy, that perfectly describes Lemmy as a whole.

Parts of it, yes. It depends on the server and the community.

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.

That’s easy. Go back to Reddit.

So if you can’t make a community private on Lemmy, why suggest it? And I’m already on Reddit.

  You can make a community private by setting up your own server and making it invite only. That’s the joy of the fediverse.

  We know.

    Yeah, but there’s not way to set up a private community on a different server. Not every knows how to, or has the money to, make their own instance.

    You can get a VPS for under $20 per month.
    
    The Fediverse was setup so that a single group of people, or a single billionaire fascist, couldn’t control the conversation. You can’t get together with a group of half a dozen extremists and strategically block anyone whose ideology you don’t like to prevent them from participating in the conversation. Blocking on Lemmy takes you out of the conversation, not the person you block.
    
    If what you want is an ideologically pure conversation where the truth is shouted down try Facebook, Xitter, Truth Social, Telegraph, or any of the other fascist loving social media platforms. If you want to create a hermetically sealed ideologically pure echo completely truth proof echo bunker you want Reddit. On Lemmy lies and misinformation will be challenged and you will get conversation with people who have different ideas than you. That’s how the Fediverse works.
