    I just plainly asked “is this ironic?” and my comment was removed. No response.

    Can you not even handle that?

      The funny thing is it’s easy to tell when that happens here, as it shows the individual numbers

      Honestly I expect that to make it so that happens less

    Trump nuts are the real snowflakes. They get upset at you without even a word needing to be said.

    I’ve only found the one that’s a bunch of liberals cybersquatting the name of the former trump reddit sub.

    I’ve noticed that instances christian, maga, conservative, and theDonald all have low counts comparatively to most instances. The highest I saw the other day was 120 or so but most were like 40-80

      That’s probably because of a mixture of things:

      • younger people are more likely to try out new SM
      • younger people are more likely to be liberal
      • many people here are fleeing from other SM that skews liberal (mostly Reddit)
      • the founders were largely socialist, so liberals probably felt more at home in the early days

      At least that’s my take.

      That said, I want nothing to do with maga-style communities.

        You forgot that Russian troll fans haven’t yet infiltrated Lemmy, but if the bot Registration reports are real, they’re on their way.

          Reactionaries from different nations are heads of the same hydra. Russian tankies, USA magas, west Asian ISIS, etc . . . they all suffer from the same character flaws.

          Those “russian” bots and troll farms are likely funded by American tankies/conservatives/terrorists.

            Just the opposite, American tankies/conservatives/terrorists are actually partially funded by Russia. It’s part of the plan outlined in Foundations of Geopolitics and there have been numerous instances of conservative organizations and individuals receiving money from Russian agents. The NRA I believe has gotten some nice sums from Russia.

        I’ll add that younger people are more likely to be targets of conservative animosity / demonized, not necessarily more liberal.

          That’s fair as well, but I think the reason for that is young people tend to be more idealistic and aggressive when pushing for their beliefs. That doesn’t make it right, but I think it’s important to recognize the motivations.

      Pretty sure r/TheDonald started as a satire community and it evolved into one of the largest white nationalist movements the world has ever seen.

        Like the nazis on 4Chan 10-15 years ago. They were debate threads for the sake of arguing. Same with the flat earthers there. It was for the argument, not the points made.

        Then people didnt get it and it became real.

          If you’re someone funny or cool on the internet, you can enhance your experience immensely by arriving early and leaving early.

          You’re here early. 🥂

        Not sure I’d conflate r/The_Donald with the Republican Party’s turn into overt fascism, as a whole. But yeah, there’s something to be said for the dangers of ironic bigotry.

          Its not a conflation, but a direct line. I watched it happen. What was /r/TheDonald became the foundation of truth social and all these other white nationalist reddit style mediums. It normalized the kind of populism which Trumps base embraced, particularly for young white males, who have since, taken it much further. I’m very convinced it got tilted in the way that it did by a disinformation campaign by a state actor.

    Instance admins should really nip that in the bud, IMO
