I mean there are also other countries in the world with various varieties of conservatives but I see your point

I mean, while that could be correct I also consider that if far right spaces get banned regularly then those people are refugees that will invade the next closest thing?

Obviously the next closest thing to far right, is center right. Does that make the center right inherently bad? I don’t think so necessarily on principle.

I disagree with conservative views almost entirely but its not something that I believe shouldn’t have discussion spaces, unlike far right politics which can just get fucked with their disdain for basic human rights, they don’t deserve a seat at the table at all.

I suppose ultimately it’s down to moderation isn’t it. If conservatives want a seat at the table they have to keep their lunatics in check and if they don’t then yeah don’t see why I should cry over it really, and thats true of all online communities.

I mean honestly it’s probably near impossible to discuss conservative politics online these days without the far right loonies invading, taking over and getting the place banned lol.

Also I wonder if conservatives would be put off lemmy given the political stance of its creators - even though that shouldn’t matter being free and open and not controlled by any one person, you know how people are.

Yep, in the UK it’s part of the theory test, you have to know how and when to check air and fluid levels in order to get a licence.

Where are you from where those things are not part of a driving test?

These papers and the people who write them truly are insane. I had the English version of the paper through my door the other week and you would think it’s satire It’s so ridiculous.

These far-right loony circle-jerks would be fascinating if they weren’t so troubling.

Are museums also an issue for holding such artifacts or do you just have a problem with individuals? Because to me ownership or an item doesn’t mean you agree with what it represents. Like it or not the Nazi party has a lot of historical significance.

Now I don’t know anything about Lemmy as a person so he may well be a POS I have no idea but if the above is your basis for it, then it’s weak.

More very real effects of global warming that will be ignored or blamed on other things no doubt.

Global warming will fuck us indirectly before the weather on a Sunday afternoon is actually the problem, many seem to miss that.

I hate it - whoever invented title case needs their head checked. It makes it far more difficult to read.

For short titles it’s fine which is probably the use to be fair, but when people on reddit/lemmy write a short essay as a ‘title’ man that is annoying.

If criticising Russia is extremist, then the world is full of extremists I guess.

Fascists hate it when people call them fascists I guess.

For me personally it still needs to be far bigger though. On Reddit literally every bite of news was posted and discussed for many of the hobbies I have, large or niche. Yet on Lemmy some of my interests are barely represented nevermind being a reliable source of information and news.

My third party app is still running for me so honestly I’m still using reddit for a lot of browsing. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing though thats my take. I’ll slowly move here if it grows and if not well, we will see.

I think the key really is transparency. I’m not going to throw money into a black hole and hope it does some good, but if there is some level of transparency showing running costs plus deficit/surplus towards those costs then I wouldn’t mind contributing.
