MODERATORS
 

They argue in bad faith, they are rude and generally unpleasant.

I saw a few brave souls having civil discussions even if they weren't profitable. You're better men than I am.

Not that I want to be rude. But when the conversation leaves the realm of ideas and becomes tactics and maneuvering to win points, then I am done.

I don’t understand why they can’t just chill out and turn off the politics.

When you go to other lemmy servers, most of the posts are not about politics. On this server, every other post is about "how dumb everyone on the left is" or about "how trans people are pedophiles". Of course there will be people who will react to that and of course people will assume that you aren't interested in "civil conversations" when you have that attitude..

If conservatives can navigate reddit and come out alive, I don’t see what the problem is.

Most people just don't want to be in an online space that they see as toxic.. It's not that they will get traumatized or anything, they just aren't particularly interested in a forum that feels like a teenage boy's locker room. That stuff is interesting when you are 14, but after that, it gets old pretty fast.

From what I’ve seen so far, especially on lemmy and some of the leftist psychopaths from beehaw, they want everyone who disagrees with them to just die basically.

It's funny, the only place where I have seen people calling for the execution of people is this server. And then you wonder why most people don't want to have anything to do with it..

You’re not having civil debates with them because they don’t want that in the first place. Their goal is to ‘prove’ that anyone on the opposite side of the political spectrum, is evil It’s really fucking annoying

And it's exactly those kind of blanket statements that make people not want to engage with you..
