Lemmy is pretty damn close to that there's only like five conservatives but they are all the same person.
And we still don't ever get along, hahahaha
Nobody hates those who oppose conservatism like other people who oppose conservatism. 🙄

It's more than that, progressive spaces are bound to have conflict due to the fact that progressiveness is way more abstract than conservativism. Conservativism is about not having change, about things staying as they are, no progress. Progresivism however, you can be moderately progressive, very progressive, radically progressive... You also can be progressive in some aspects but not so much in others, yet you identify as a progressive.
Conservativism champions homogeneity, progressiveness champions diversity. In a diverse environment there are bound to be disagreements.
It is what it is, we just need to be better and reach agreements. All the time.
great response
It’s Gulag for everybody who doesn’t win. You can’t blame lefties for not cooperating. It’s still unfortunate.
Y'all have just made an enemy for life
Yeah, if it wasn't for the news in lemmy, I'd assume the world was all sunshine and roses, and everybody was cool like me.
We're all happy depressed furries optimizing our linux experience on our thinkpads.

My apologies. I didn't mean to exclude the catgirls.
I feel left out. I don't have a Thinkpad. 😩
We can share mine
But you’re a happy depressed furry optimizing your linux experience, and that's all that matters.

mesmerized by your name
Yah but there's also like, 300,000 tankies and they're ALSO that same person.
No, there's me AND Steve.
Horseshoe theory is rightfully maligned on the nose, but I've had to play the "Leftist diphsit or Redcap troll" game too many times to discount it DX
There's also "Extreme Centrist Who Will Break Their Own Back doing Acrobatics to Avoid Being Labeled And Now Just are Reflexively Contrarian to Literally Anything and Everything Anyone Says in Public."
They will also go to the camps.
Camps for centrists, camps for moderates, camps for radicals, camps for everyone not in power. It's sad.
I’d love it if lemmy banned traitors. It should be policy for every server.
