On Reddit, it took very little time for the bigots to roll in and create a familiarly unpleasant atmosphere in /r/greentext. Downvotes are, perhaps, the lightest form of disagreement one could offer to a potential chink in lemmy’s armor against righties. The absence of chuds is a decent portion of why I love this place. If they find an “ironic” home here, as they did on reddit, it’d suck for me.

Okay this is a take I can understand and respect. That being said, how can we observe unhinged posts, acknowledge them as such, and have a laugh about them, while making it clear that they are unacceptable? This feels a difficult tightrope to walk, given the context

That’s the best part, exactly what we’ve been doing, no changes! Lemmy is so hostile to conservative ideologies and incapable of recognizing satire that it forms a decent barrier. Delightfully, we get to have our cake and eat it too! Accepting the downvotes as an aspect of our immunity, creating titles that point out OOP’s degeneracy, and banning every righty that pops out of the woodwork keeps us clean.
