You’ve actually found right leaning people on Lemmie? I thought they were either shoved out, bullied out or pushed out or just given up and left and went somewhere else.
That's not something we should be trying for though. Wouldn't you be mad if suddenly conservatives came on and said that same thing about left-leaning people?!
Would never say it’s something we should be trying for.
I meant Lemmy as a whole. And I agree with you that we shouldn't be trying for that. I personally have been bullied and there have been plenty of attempts to push me out--all because I post links to news articles that have conservative points of view. Even when it's AP News, I get bullied. lol
Did not everyone immediately agree with you and applaud?
Poor thing.
I have never expected people to immediately agree with me or applaud. But diversity of opinion and thought is supposed the be the cornerstone of Democratic values. But it's not. Not at all. I have seen more bullying and hate in the name of Democratic values here on Lemmy than anywhere else in my entire life. LMAO
I doubt you would see that unless you were opposing Democratic values. Shit, you should see what happens if you suggest there should be living Palestinians.
