Arguably the most disliked person on Lemmy because I defend free speech and civil rights, and I push back against Fascists, Nazis, and Lemmy Groupthink.

  • Why is a science article being downvoted in a science community?!?

    They're not downvoting the article, they're downvoting the poster--me.

    Because even tho this is a non-political science community, some people on Lemmy are mad that I voted a certain way in the last election and that I post conservative articles in conservative communites, so they follow me around to downvote everything I post. Regardless of subject matter. Regardless of community.

    Which is strange, but meh, it's Lemmy. Some people take Lemmy way too seriously. lol

  • Yeah, Lemmy has definitely been turning into a bunch of Negative Nancys lately. The best thing we can do to fight it, is to just press on, ignore the downvotes, and keep posting great content.

  • So you refuse to defend your spoken position with anything concrete, even though I’ve asked you about multiple specific examples that contradict your position.

    I've given you my opinion. I don't have to back anything up. I gave you my opinion. You gave me yours. I don't care enough to go deeper.

    Why do you think that your positions don’t deserve hateful responses?

    Hate's not the answer. But you do you, boo.

    your chosen positions are steeped in hate

    Nope. I don't hate anyone.

  • Meh, we just disagree.

  • I'm not burning anything down. I'm just having a conversation on Lemmy. Calm down

  • I don't think things are getting worse. You do. It's ok that we disagree. And I don't think any of this should add to the "hate" problem that some see on Lemmy. Which is the point of OP's post.

    Hate isn't the answer, even if someone's mad about whatever political environment they are in.

  • You’re being intellectually dishonest if you are claiming your statement is true.

    Just because I said something that you didn't agree with doesn't mean I was being "intellectually dishonest," and it's rude of you to imply that.

    Can I ask if you are a white, well off, man?

    I'm not white, nor am I well off. Live in midsize city and never made more than $40K my entire career, and in fact made substantionaly less than that for most of it.

    I lived through the 80's. Try living then and telling me that life is worse now. lol

  • I don't think any of that is any worse off than it was a few years ago though.

  • I see your a conservative on a left leaning platform which that’s got to be hilarious.

    It's definitely been an adventure. I was banned from a politics sub because they thought I was an alt username from some other banned conservative person. Not because of what I posted or what I said, but because they thought I was an alt of a entirely different conservative poster. Which I'm not, by the way. lmao

    But yeah, I ignore all the peer pressure here.

    Lemmy isn't open to alternative voices.. yet. But I think we'll eventually get big enough to allow people of all viewpoints here--which many people here DON'T want, and that's why the pushback.
