Maybe consider that this type of community isn’t for you. I don’t mean that in a negative or aggressive way, but just as a point of consideration. We’d never turn anyone away, and we’d hate for anyone to not feel welcome, but the theme of political Memes range for silly to serious, sarcastic to sardonic. Things like this are to be expected.
There are communities to suit all types of interests. And where you might not like the theme and atmosphere of this community, there are many others that do.
I am not too sensitive to take a fight, I do however think it's ridiculous to say you are being welcoming when directly above this is a post literally making a call to action to people they fought with more than "70 days ago" to start a fight with them again for no reason other than they want to punch down and blame them for something far more complicated than the handful of people on Lemmy represent.
That seems counter to your actions but I agree then this likely not a place for me and many others. And it does not seem welcome it seems like a group with gates quite clearly down.
This post is antagonistic. And you statement of "If you don't like it, leave" is heard.
They’re simply asking where they are. I’ve seen and allowed FAR worse mud sling toward liberals and worse than that against conservatives.
Scroll a bit and you’ll see them. And if there’s not enough for your liking, make some. If it remains with the rules. It remains.
And as a side note: why have I not seen you reporting any of the memes that drag conservatives through the mud. Those are hella’ antagonistic!
Saying that while here doesn't do much. I have no proof of your statement but have the history of seeing these exact posts frequently. Same habits in them, same fighting. Literally sort by controversial last month and it's all these posts.
So again, I’ve not come across any reports issued by you on any posts that sling mud at democrats or conservatives. When that happens, I’ll consider your accusation of bias. Until then. The post remains.
When they stoop so low to be like this as well I will let you know then.
