But it doesn’t add any energy, any thought, any creative juice, to the human mix.
No, you mean you personally don’t THINK that it adds any of that. I realize that the majority of Lemmy’s are not conservative. But there are conservatives on Lemmy and they DO appreciate me, and I’ve gotten DM’s from them. But they are afraid to be public about it.
Is that really what you want Lemmy to be? People afraid to voice their real opinions because of bullying?
Let’s say this became a Twilight Zone episode. And suddenly overnite, Lemmy was majority Conservative.
And they said, “Guys, we should autoban anyone who is liberal or a Democrat. They’re all trolls.”
Now first off, you’d think, “of course conservatives are like that, they hate different opinions.” Then you’d be pissed.
Guess what? You all are the conservatives in this Twilight Zone episode.
Take every comment in this thread and switch out the words “conservative” with “liberal” or “leftist.” And see how hateful ti seems. Even tho you only changed the specific words.
I’m not a troll.
People here don’t like me. Cool. But that doesn’t mean I’m a troll.
I don’t post to make them hate me. I post, and they hate me. Big difference.
It’s intent.
I would be more than happy to be ignored. But that doesn’t mean I should get banned.
I mean, let’s face it. If I get banned, I could be back in 10 minutes with a totally different name. So it’s not the actually banning, it’s the principle.
And I will keep fighting for that principle. Ban or no ban.
I’m retired. I have all the fucking time in the world to argue.
