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

Please create a new account and stop using this one. Aside from not wanting to deal with the extra reports this one will bring, we won’t let this become a Nazi bar, and we know that “ironic” bigotry is often the thin end of the wedge. I’m not saying you intended to lay out the welcome mat for the far-right, but that’s what ironic far-right messaging effectively does.

Perfect example of this is 4chan.
