I don’t have much of a problem either way as I don’t think I’ll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That’s fine. There’s clearly a more liberal audience here and that’s okay. I just don’t want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I’m new here.

Edit: Thanks for the rational replies. I was expecting to get lit up for even mentioning this topic lol.

    Obfuscating hate and intolerance by cloaking it under a “conservative” platform does not make it “conservative” - it is still hate and intolerance. People calling this out are well to do so. I don’t see echo chambers, in those cases. I see people testing the bonds of the social contract.
