Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I’ll leave it at that because we should probably shy away from outrage bait. As much as I’d like to i cant do anything about him and he is driving his buddies away from us

yeah, i'm not donning my mod hat here or anything but i think it's nice and generally a good idea to not linger too much on weirdos and cranks you hate online. i think it's an easy way to ruin a community's vibe if you're not careful or let it go on too much, and even if everyone in the conversation is otherwise acting cordial. there's just... not much value in doing that, you know? we're not talking a major politician here. these people do not "matter" in any meaningful sense.

Agreed. I'm hesitant to even join this conversation but in my opinion, we can refuse to tolerate intolerance/hate and still bee nice about it.
