      So cool, I love that marker you put on me. Makes it easier to round up people you don’t like ;)

        Man, nobody can put “a target” on you for something you say on a public forum that people get mad about.

        You guys want freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is also getting shit on online for something you say. You have a right to speak, not a right to be liked.

          Man, I don’t like MAGA either. I think they represent pretty much everything that’s wrong with society today…

          But for a community that talks so often about disliking echo chambers, it really seems like most Lemmy users want an echo chamber.

            Lemmy has everything from libs to anarchists to tankies. If that’s an echo chamber I think I’ll survive without fascist voices in the mix. The North Korea apologists are bad enough.

              That’s fair, I can definitely understand that position and agree with you on the NK apologists.

              From my point of view, I think it’s more productive to interact with people I disagree with, in the (possibly naive) pursuit of changing their minds. If people are kicked out for their views, I’d imagine many of them will just double down and act like a martyr.

              To be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t call these people out and downvote them – that’s why that function exists right? But maybe once in a while, something that we argue will resonate with them.

              Of course there are limits to that approach, and this all hinges on the other person arguing in good faith. Based on the OP’s post history, I’ll admit that I may be barking up the wrong tree in this case.

                I honestly think there’s essentially zero chance of any argument resonating with someone who identifies as MAGA at this point.

                I’d say there’s more danger to letting them into spaces to push hateful shit than there is benefit in the moonshot chance that one of them might hear an argument that resonates.

                  See, I’m torn. On one hand, I feel like this ‘us vs. them’ mentality contributes to the sort of tribalism that ultimately results in movements like MAGA popping up. If these people can only operate in MAGA-friendly spaces, they’ll rarely speak to anyone who disagrees with them, and will have no reason to reflect on their worldview.

                  Then I read the news. If current events aren’t enough to convince them that they’re misguided, I’m not sure that anything will.

                  I’m not sure I know what the solution is, but it’s been an interesting discussion.

        Must feel great then for this to be the top level comment and everyone seeing through your bullshit :) <3. Makes it easier for people to know to avoid you, while you pretend like you’re not actively rounding up people who aren’t the same color as you <3.

        Aww man. I’ve been searching for someone who consistently gets more downvotes than upvotes and you were so close. Keep it up!

        (Seriously this is a thing I do. I’m not kidding you. Every time I see someone with an incredibly bad take I look at their profile for this. I’m trying to see if those kinds of people eventually get tired and stop commenting, stay mostly silent, or what)

      I’m genuinely laughing out loud, such a wild comment out of left field caught me totally off guard. I don’t think I’ve seen such stupid malice in actual years

    Anyone who has this strong of a reaction to something so inconsequential must be a deeply unhappy person. It sucks to suck.

    Also, anyone who calls someone a ‘fag’ is a complete fucking moron. I doubt things will improve for them with so few brain cells to work with.

    I would also like to have nice little messages in my inbox. I run Linux though. Debian Stable to be exact. If you run anything else you are wrong and stupid.

    I don’t dislike linux, I dislike all the work people mention to me when I say I don’t use it because I’m as lazy as futurama’s lazy moon man. The response to that is usually a long list of taks they claim to be a very easy way to install Linux. I don’t care how hard or easy it is. I only do one thing. If I have to do two things, that’s too many things to do.

    Call me when someone makes a distro that is as lazy as an android phone: press a button, all gets done on its own.

      For real, I am even calling over friends for help to set up a Windows PC or a printer. I have absolutely no idea about technology and computers. I want something easy and mainstream because this way I have an easier time getting support. Two steps are one step too much. I have a lot of strengths but understanding tech is definitely not one of them. And frankly, I neither have the time nor interest to learn anything about it. I have a great respect for linux and I have fond memories of playing a game on my dad’s computer, but it’s not something that’s for me.

      I rather leave you as a windows user to suffer. :)

      Because if you want a computer to be a tv, then windows is the best.

      There’s a difference between being lazy and being unwilling to learn. I’m not trying to proselytize at you, but Linux can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. Shit, I’m lazy too lol.

      I’m running Cachyos because everything worked right out of the box with my hardware and it plays all my games without having to configure anything besides clicking on the “install gaming packages” button. It’s based on Arch though so you could install that instead and set it all up yourself to tweak it to your heart’s content. That’s kind of the beauty of it.
