This post itself is a classic example of that... OP came with a "waaah there's no place for right-wing discussion when lemmygrad gets a free pass", disregarding the fact Beehaw has defederated with lemmygrad already. Then when many wonderful users come in to open the dialogue, saying "hey, there's a place for you, here's what we can discuss on this instance and here's what you should take elsewhere", there's no interest in continuing discussion from OP (maybe they will reply later in the coming days).
Certain comments, like that from user @nicholas are full-on ragebait, leaving no room for discussion, and intending to antagonize each other by suggesting "everyone right of Bernie Sanders gets shit on here, just you watch the people that will reply to me". The vibe I want in an online community is like a nice discussion at a coffee shop, the last thing I want is a direct escalation to a shouting match so I try to avoid goading people into that.
