On conservatives@hilariouschaos, they shared a Babylon bee meme saying marines were invading a 3rd world country meaning California I pointed out that Californias existence allows their racist red states to exist. Despite me being “upvoted” with citations that were asked for, and them being negative, my posts were deleted. I wasn’t aware that hilariouschaos was as bad as .ml or worse.
It’s not exactly a secret, but neither is that .world really wants to federate with everyone.
You can block the whole instance yourself, as well as individual communities.
But anytime you see one about “conservatism” it’s gonna be a troll community. Either trolling everyone else, or to troll the handful of conservatives that are on here
Don’t get hung up on idiots using the internet, just block them and move on
I tend to agree but I’m sick of giving stupid people a voice. This is how they became prominent in the first place. Anti-vaxxers, Russian propagandists, this isn’t something we should allow. Blocking it doesn’t solve anything in the same way that appeasement doesn’t stop dictators. Let them have tiktok and Facebook. But not here.

You’re not “giving them a voice”…
You’re feeding the trolls
Like, it’s fucking Lemmy, you’re not out there protecting millions of people from misinformation. You’re the reason they’re doing it in the first place
Without people like you, they wouldn’t still be doing it.
So I’m gonna take my own advice
hard disagree. arent we past the stage where we dismiss right-wingers as trolls? they are always “just trolls”, until there is enough of them to cause an issue for everyone. if they are on lemmy, that to me points towards them wanting to establish a community here. why? no idea. but it always starts with “just a few trolls”
