About a week now since I joined Lemmy. It seemed to me at first that place like this, where the tech knowledge prerequisites are a little higher than Reddit or Twitter, and being a lot of Reddit refugees, would be a bit of a liberal haven.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against discourse, although these days that is trying at best. But, in the last few days I’ve been running into a lot of bullshit MAGA style nonsense on Lemmy.

And, I gotta say, that’s a bit disappointing.

    I figure, in this community, as soon as a MAGAt pops their head up, it’s an insta-ban. I have to deal with them in daily life enough as it is. They do set me off. Like, instant rage. Which really isn’t healthy. I try to keep a handle on it and not engage.

    Shouldn’t be a problem here. This isn’t really going to be a place for debate, or both sidesism, or anything.

      Heh, you definitely will have to keep an eye on 1 or two just in this thread, lest we be bombarded with apologists and whataboutisms.
