New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I'm newish to the fediverse. I'm digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter

If you arent homophobic, transphobic, anti-communist, in support of china or russia, in support of israel, religious, in support of non-opensource software, against linux, calling a lot of people nazis, or against murdering, then probably

I agree with most of these, but sometimes it feels like you cant disagree with people without them becoming angry

Lol I have pointed out that Russia hasn't dropped nuke in Ukraine but America has dropped nukes on Japan.

[–] pescetarian@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

Only Americans can test a nuclear bomb on living people, in the name of democracy. The rest are not allowed! For the rest, this is a crime!

Leave it, only the Americans know what to do and progressive Europe... The rest of the Russians, the Chinese are stupid animals for them who can't do anything, don't know and shouldn't know! So....

Is this sincere? I'm curious if people are sinophobic or anti Russian.

I’m curious if people are sinophobic or anti Russian.

Some instances, notoriously lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, aggressively ban Sinophobia and Russophobia, so much that many visitors get banned without understanding how what they said was prejudiced (many of their prejudiced views are simply 'common sense' as a result of normal Western propaganda) and yell about the instances being Russian/Chinese genocidal propaganda. So if .world gives you trouble, these places could be worth considering.

I'm 99% sure its sarcasm.
