I am seeing this pattern a lot lately, whenever a person disagrees strongly or expresses conservative/right wing views, they are told to go back to reddit.

You can say ‘Don’t bring these bullshit views to the fediverse,’ or something of that sort. I am a reddit refugee myself, and part of the Reddit API exodus. Being told to go someplace I just left due to ethical reasons feels bad. So, I want to understand why it is being used as a retort. Is it really rude, or am I making a fuss out of nothing?

Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse. I am questioning how telling them to go back to reddit is a valid response.

Edit2 : Edited the the title to better represent my question.

    “conservative/right wing” views are basically nazi views. calling this mindset “different views” is like calling child rape “different tastes”–it starts and finishes as complete bullshit. it’s not a different view, it’s a fucking wrong view.

    people with these “different views” are in support of a corrupt pedo rapist fascist fucking con man, and we just bombed a school full of children. there is no echo chamber in support of any of that here yet, and honestly, if/when that becomes the case, i’ll be going somewhere else.

    also, are you a right winger, on .ml?

      I didn’t mean to say that conservative views are just different views. I phrased my initial post badly, sorry. I mean to say that this retort is used also for differing views. A few days back, I was asked to go back to reddit because I questioned the US-limited view of politics. I don’t think my view was conservative. I was just thinking in what situations this retort is used.

        They are simply different views. Don’t get swayed by the nuts around here. Ya just ignore their extremism and accept that genuine discourse on politics isn’t done here.

        It’s great for everything else tho.

      I’m from California don’t agree with any of this lol liberals are sick right now. It’s bad but honestly you’re crying wolf right now and it shows. I don’t like the guy either but at this point we are losing the crowd cause we are stuck in bubbles like this. They won the election we need to figure why. We are literally avoiding a mass of people ideas that conflict. With that strategy Dems will never win again.
