there are right wing instances?

[–] [email protected] 75 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not entirely shocked. They get kicked off mainstream sites regularly, they need somewhere for their echo chamber to exist.

Ah, so hilarious chaos IS a right wing instance?

Let’s take a look at HC’s local front page right now:

• First post is pro-Elon, uses “woke” as a derogatory term

• Second post is anti-science transphobia

• Third post is the same story as the first post, says a “hate crime” was committed by the “woke” person, article is on Breitbart [EDIT: fixed a typo I made here]

• Fourth post is ok, fairly normal, but posted by an avid poster for the site named Donald Musk

• Fifth post follows the suit of the fourth post

• Sixth post is transphobia for sports, article is on Breitbart

• Seventh post follows the suit of the fourth and fifth post

• Eighth post is by a news bot, headline says Israel is gonna keep doing what they do

• Ninth post is ok, just a banal joke

• Tenth post paints Tesla as a victim of violence, article is on Breitbart

• Eleventh post is saying most voters prefer moderate Democrats over “radical” AOC & Sanders, article is on Breitbart

• Twelfth post is anti-science transphobia

• Thirteenth post is by a news bot about Canada’s Carney’s plan (I don’t know enough about Canada’s politics to know where this guy stands on things)

• Fourteenth post is by a news bot about Anti-Trump rallies, headline seems politically neutral

• Fifteenth post is anti-science, pro-Trump, COVID conspiracy theories, article is on Breitbart

• Sixteenth post is ok, just a joke

• Seventeenth post is by an admin trying to save face by soliciting mods for a token leftwing community on their site, the only volunteer is one of the above posters of anti-science transphobia

• Eighteenth post is in German about some technology?

• Nineteenth post is by news bot about US attacking Yemen

I’ve been completely unable to tell if they’re right wing or just a bunch of edgy 14 year olds, and I’ve been kinda reluctant to block them till I figure out which

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Does it matter? If the edgy 14 year olds aren't contributing anything you consider worth your time then block them anyway.

The first "couple"? I see the porn subs that we defederate because the admin doesn't want to risk legal liability. There's the one tanky instance that they defederated before later deciding not to defederate tanky instances. There's the spam Reddit resharing instance. There's the two instances mentioned in this LW post, which seems to indicate it's about illegal content, not political alignment. That just leaves exploding heads, which was right-wing, but gave up hosting at all after everyone defedded them, and hilariouschaos.com. That one, I don't know, so I'll take your word that it's right-wing. But that only leaves one, not a couple.

EH & HC (considered by many to be EH under a new name) are the two I was referring to. Tanky subs were an afterthought on my part.

Im surprised the stupid fucks can still operate a computer/phone let a lone running an instance.

The fact that you don't know about them says the system is working.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 weeks ago (52 children)

I think it's important to downvote them and even make them feel unwelcome. You can't let Nazis and white supremacists in your communities because any community that doesn't kick out Nazis will eventually find itself overrun by Nazis fleeing communities that kick them out.

You don't need to argue or make a fuss, but make sure to downvote anyone who doesn't believe all people are born equal and that people have a right to choose what to do and who to love.

I couldn't take it anymore. I've had this alt for so many days now. I just got banned from a bunch of heir drumpfkins fluffer conservative communities today. I needed some entertainment to lift my spirits.

I watched a documentary about their ancestors while I commented freely. It's called Deliverance. You should check it out.

HilariousChaos’s conservative community is a safe space for thin skinned snowflakes you’re not missing much.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I know. I've been fucking with them for a while now. On various alts. Just some days you know...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

You got a purdy mouth

The fastest block in the west 🤠

How about having to hug a relative with a right wing shirt?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

"ha ha funny shirt! But can you imagine people BELIEVE that lie?!? Classic Uncle Morty!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Wouldn't happen because I cut those people out of my life.

I do think anyone on Lemmy is probably smarter than anyone on Reddit. I was browsing a conservative sub today and while they were very few comments, most of them disagreed with the general direction of the Trump administration.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't think user intelligence has as much to to with it as foreign interference and astroturfing campaigns, since its a larger platform

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

And the bots. Don’t forget the bots.

at least there are some of them here, i havent seen them yet whatsoever

(I even feel like its way more progressive but also more "radical/chaotics" here and there since the communities are still more niche and therefore weighting feels off)

would love to read some "frustration" every now and then to see how my facebook grandparents would argue for example, lol
