We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

I don’t have to agree to anything, but okay. You could come up with some reasons why you feel that death threats, slurs and insults are less hateful.

It’s also notable that the “fuck you libtard” type of response is far more common than the “you love genocide”. A small handful of leftists act like that. Much more common is moderate left/US liberal people who politely engage in conversation. You can see that all over Lemmy and Reddit. Meanwhile, try going to Reddit’s /r conservative and criticize Trump, or even just repeat things he’s said that make him look bad. You’ll get insulted and banned quickly.

US liberals look down on certain groups for features they could change - being sexist, ignorant, violent, you know, typical hardcore Trump supporters. Hardcore Trump supporters look down on people for things they can’t change - being non-white, poor, or a woman.

I mean, just read the posts on /r/conservative or /r/conspiracy. Check out the racism and hatred of women, the poor and immigrants among those communities. Saying US liberals are hateful compared to MAGA people is perhaps one of the most absurd things anyone has ever told me.

Which was happening on Lemmy pre-election. A lot.

But you're right, you don't have to agree with me on anything. And I don't have to agree with you on anything. I have received more hate from liberals on Lemmy than I have from conservatives. And they were more hateful.

My personal experience. And that doesn't match your personal experience.

You know about banning. Probably lost count of how many accounts you get banned from for being a sealion and troll 🥰

Yep, all because I didn't support Harris, I voted Socialist, and I posted ACCURATE news articles about how the polls were showing Trump gaining on Harris, before she DID get decimated in the election. She lost both the popular and electoral votes!

Hmmm, funny how that works, isn't it?

And yet here I am, in spite of your little creepy program that you wrote and offered to people so they could stalk and downvote every comment I make.

How are ya, friend? I don't see you over in c/politcs much anymore. What happened? Oh! It's became a toxic hellhole because you all are so mad that you lost.

Here's the latest modlog to there: https://lemmy.world/c/politics

And how "many accounts" have I had banned? I was banned on one account, universal monk (Socialist Mormon Satanist), on .world. What are these other accounts you speak of?

Here's the mod log of my banning, for everyone to see. I stand by everything I did and said: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252?page=1&userId=9454261

And the news articles I posted, and got banned for, that you all thought was "fake propaganda" ended up being true. And they were from legit news sources.

You do realise that Trump lost electoral and popular vote, right?! Guess it wasn't so fake after all, huh?
