I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

    Hey man, you’re not arguing in good faith, and I think you know it. We’re building a different space here than the one we left. Please stop trying to ragebait by building straw man arguments that don’t reflect the reality of the discourse here. Choose to be better.

      How am I ragebaiting? Am I wrong? It’s been made clear time and time again that any opinion that is even somewhat right leaning is not welcome here. To point this out is not “ragebaiting” and that’s completely absurd that you would even claim that.

      Yet again, y’all prove my point. Anyone who disagrees with the hivemind is apparently not here in good faith (even when they are).

        Please cite examples. This entire post is disproving this already.

        To point this out is not “ragebaiting” and that’s completely absurd that you would even claim that.

        It’s absurd to come in here, throw around vague accusations, and then do absolutely no work to back up those claims.

        the hivemind

        There are already more viewpoints being expressed within respondents to this post than in typical reddit front page subs. I’m sorry but it is not good faith to start name calling. I feel like you know that, though.
