Seeing libs seethe about “too many tankies” is really funny. (lemmygrad.ml)

On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

I guess you have to ask yourself, are we spreading ideas and looking to chip away at the predominant hegemony, or do we want to self isolate?

One of the nice things about lemmy.ml is that it starts from a far left perspective and as a result of reddits own unmaking, places normies in a position of no longer being the predominant opinion in the room.

This has two outcomes from what I can guess:

Normies show up in droves, and their perspectives shift as a result of having to defend their point of view for once.
Normies show up, but leave because they can't handle not being able to call forth the shibaliths they're so accustom to, and having their points of view challenged on equal grounds.

Or normies show up and take over?

You think they're going to take over lemmygrad, or hexbear? The thing about federation is that you can avoid the outcome you're talking about by only federating with communities that share our values.

Well they've taken over lemmy.ml?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Registration on Lemmy.ml is no longer open I think. Lemmy.world is leading the pack for active users (or close to it). Regardless, why would the admins of lemmygrad and hexbear not enforce their own rules on the normies?

I just went over to lemmy.ml and got called a Putler penis fellator or some such teenage insult.

You're going to have to have thicker skin then that comrade.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And me having thicker skin will make the outcome we were talking about not have happened somehow?

I think you lost the thread there.

My friend, you are always going to be ideologically out numbered. If the libs want to call you names, that only shows their ignorance. Walking away ensures what you're talking about actually happens. It's not your job to educate people if they do not want to hear it, however, disengaging only ensures those spaces become hostile to your beliefs. Systems like these only have value at scale, and with that scale comes individuals who do not share your world view. Alienation starts at home, we we decide to no longer engage. Just take solace in knowing this space here, is for you first.

I think there's a parallel conversation going on here that's happening only in your mind. We were talking about libs taking over lemmy.ml, remember?

Why do you think I "walk away", or have a "thin skin"? What gave you that impression? It's certainly not the case and nothing I've said should have given you this idea. You can look at my comment history yesterday on lemmy.ml to verify.
