I am seeing this pattern a lot lately, whenever a person disagrees strongly or expresses conservative/right wing views, they are told to go back to reddit.
You can say ‘Don’t bring these bullshit views to the fediverse,’ or something of that sort. I am a reddit refugee myself, and part of the Reddit API exodus. Being told to go someplace I just left due to ethical reasons feels bad. So, I want to understand why it is being used as a retort. Is it really rude, or am I making a fuss out of nothing?
Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse. I am questioning how telling them to go back to reddit is a valid response.
Edit2 : Edited the the title to better represent my question.
I’ve been accused of being right wing on Reddit, but also on Lemmy, by those carrying water for Blue MAGA otherwise known as the Democratic Party. The only reason I never “went back to Reddit” Is because that’s not an option for me. I know the term “gaslighting” is overused these days, but that’s what it is when someone who champions the Dems tells a twinkle-toed pinko commie like me that I’m a “right-wing troll”.
