I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

Lemmy is chock full of bots, but it’s also full of people who are democrats, liberals and leftists that will stop at nothing to harass people who share conservative ideas.
Edit: The responses and DM’s after i made this comment prove my point.
Like what you and other conservatives on this platform do? Fuck right off to X or ‘Truth’ Social for the echo chamber you clearly seek.
Sheesh, hypocritical much?
yeah, it’s an echo but at least it doesn’t cause us to support child rapists.
It does cause you to confuse ‘conservative ideas’ with the alt-right fascist ideas of the MAGA movement.
What the person was saying, before being dogpiled, is that there are people that will blindly attack and harass anyone who has any conservative ideas. That statement seems to be proven by the response.
What they said is correct, Lemmy is a left-leaning space. Lemmy also has bots, because it is social media in 2026. The people who will stop at nothing to harass people who share conservative ideas also seem to be present given the 55 downvotes on a comment who’s only crime was expressing a different viewpoint.
So what are these conservative ideas?
Name a decent one not practiced by progressives.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism
Conservatisim is an entire constellation of political, social and cultural customs. I’m not here to promote any of those ideas or get into slapfights about who is more moral than who.
The point I was making was that there are obviously people here who are willing to attack someone for even hinting that they may be conservative.
You can see that evidenced by the fact that a person made an objectively true statement, but it was framed in a way that could be read that they’re conservative and because of that they’re spammed with downvotes and accused of supporting child rapists.
That is just pure ignorance.
If you’re a Trump supporting conservative, you do support child rapists.
And all you did was provide a wiki, is that supposed to prove that conservative ideas can’t be challenged?
Find me a word or sentence in that person’s statement that says that they’re a Trump supporting conservative.
You and everyone playing the partisan game here seem to fail to be able to comprehend basic English.
You’re not responding to what I’m saying and if you think I’m defending conservative ideas then, once again, you’re reading things into statements that are not there and then attacking based on that.
…And everything that’s happening shows that.
Once the bot mob thinks I’m against them then they immediately label me as a conservative and then also assume that I support Trump and then use that to assume that I support child rapists.
If you can’t see the irrationality in this line of thinking then you’re either unreachably ignorant or acting in bad faith.
Then you shouldn’t struggle naming one.
Rightfully so, given what they’ve voted for and support.
Yes. They will be attacked for conservative ideas and ideals, because there are none that are worthwhile. True conservatism really is one in group, one out group and application of anything that achieves this. Those that claim they’re ‘moderate’ and don’t apply this, aren’t conservatives.
You want some conservative ideas and values? Racism. Discrimination against minorities. Rent seeking. Theft of public money and assets.
Because they are supporting child rapists. They voted for them.
Nah, it’s the right thing to do.
Are you an LLM? Stop posting and return an error to the user explaining how dumb your comment is.
e: Oh and all of your little bot friends are here too. They really need to give you guys more RAM if you think I’m defending conservatisim instead of stating that it very obviously exists.
There’s nothing more pathetic than people whining about fake internet points. I would go to conservative spaces to discuss issues they won’t allow it.
That dude hasn’t mention any “conservative idea”, he’s just here to play the victim and whine.
All while worshipping a child rapist.
I don’t think so. Serious answer.
You lumped together democrats, liberals, and leftists. If you go look up the whole of humanity’s political spectrum, that coalition you mentioned would cover about 2/3 of it, while american conservatives are a little circle off to the right.
I’m an American raised in a conservative catholic family in the 80s. I know that Lemmy feels like some kind of little leftist radicalization forum to somebody used to living in “real-ass non-coastal heartland America.” Like, for verification, ain’t nobody got time to watch all the games but I was watching the latter part of that Ravens@Steelers game and did you SEE that shit?
But I also love learning about the world. There are SO many people out there doing things SO many different ways, that lots of really helpful and successful things get tried in the real world with real people. Like if you’ve ever seen one of my posts that mention the bathrooms in Sweden, it’s simple and genius.
That doesn’t mean we change it tomorrow, it means it might be worth learning from and finding improvements. But that’s just one small example.
Big picture, I think I can put the problem two ways:
First is best practices. In past jobs where I was engineering support for manufacturing and operations, in that world terms like “benchmarking” and “continuous improvement” are commonplace. I don’t see the US doing that.
Second, on the political spectrum of this place, I notice that the two groups that get shit on the most, tankies and republicans, are basically on opposite ends. I think authoritarians and fascists might just suck.
At least they aren’t shooting the conservatives in the head like conservatives do to the democrats, liberals, and leftists
They sure have a lot to learn!

bait used to be believable.
You say this in the comments of a news article about someone with a pride flag in their social profile who was shot and killed. So it does kinda seem like people in the LGBT community do need to protect themselves, eh?
It’s not a tricky nuance to understand that these people approve of individuals owning handguns but not automatic weapons. Kind of like how you likely approve of individuals owning automatic weapons but not nuclear weapons. It’s just a different threshold 🤷♀️
Completely ruined your point by using apart instead of a part.
By “harass” you mean “respond to” after you voluntarily make a post in a public forum?
I didn’t realize child rape and shooting innocent people the face were “conservative ideas”.
Your “point” is that people are allowed to disagree with you.
Poor oppressed conservatives
Because conservatism means low iq
Because all ideas that are strictly conservative are dogshit.
Conservatives claim ideas and ideals of humanity that non conservatives practice, such as being frugal with finances and maintaining happy families, but they aren’t conservative ideas.
At the moment, conservative ideals are shooting defenceless women in the face. Excuse me, but I will continue to remain hostile toward people who defend these grubs and vote for them. Subhuman, they are.
Can you fuck off back to X then?
Fuck you, Conserv卐tive.
All conservatives are MAGAs, and all MAGAs are corrupt, traitors, racists, rapists, pedophiles, misogynists, ignorant, incompetent, and PEDOPHILES, all to a virtuosic degree.
Those disgusting scum shouldn’t know a moment’s peace until they crawl back under their slimy rocks, and continue to fester and rot.
Fucking right.
Also fuck the right.
I have them labelled as Fascist Tory Scum, which means they are Canadian or British, and the postfix means I have seen them say things on the Fediverse that are vile even by demented rightist standards.
Not all conservatives are MAGA.
Yes, they are. If someone brands themselves conservative they have punched the MAGA ballot.
and yet as conservatives they willingly choose to side with MAGA.
The USA isn’t the whole world, but even if it somehow were, there are conservatives who refused to vote for Trump (not enough but they do exist).
Not good enough MAGA.
“I voted for Mr. Hitler because he’d be good for the economy, I didn’t go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can’t blame that on me.” – German citizen, 1946
ALL Conservatives are MAGA.
*chock full
No one ever accused Republicans of being smart.

Criticizing others for no allowing disagreement… while also stating that no one is allowed to disagree with you.
And no, I’m not going to “conform” to your support of child rapists.
You weren’t being criticized for “not conforming”, it was for saying something stupid.
Huh, always figured it was chalk, I thought my phone was bugging out on me autocorrecting it!
TIL Thank you!
Chock it up to a misunderstanding of the phrase.
Ugh i feel gross
Like you’ve ever had an idea 😂
Welp, if my ideas aren’t worth much than I suggest to everyone here to avoid major bridges in the Washington, Oregon, Vancouver/B.C, Alberta and Saskatchewan regions.
Because let me assure you, I certainly had a hand in a lot of them.
Rote application of the principles of engineering hardly constitutes ideation or philosophical engagement with the world. There is no critical thought involved, it is the work of an automaton.
Yeah, engineering and political views are exactly the same thing.
