After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.
They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.
Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they’re in it for the right reasons.
This is my mental image every time someone online claims to be a black conservative.
I love all the, “I’m actually black and democrats are the real racists!”
I’m sure there are some black people that do believe that. But I mean like… KKK and nazi members and such aren’t comfortable showing up to democrat rallies to show their support. Republicans seem to have no issues co-mingling with them.
But hey you have people like Kaitlyn Jenner who still support republicans despite the fact that so many of them think of her existence as woke and needs to be exterminated. So… Who knows.
black conservatives are conservatives because of religion mostly.
same with hispanics.
