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.

    What about it? People disagreeing with you doesn’t mean they aren’t tolerating you. They would need to ban/censor you in order for that to happen.

      People disagreeing with you

      That’s not what OP was on about. They were talking about nazism. That’s not a differing opinion, a valid stance, or something to even remotely consider. Nazis aren’t “people disagreeing with you”

        You would have a point if people didn’t call their opponents nazis on these forums just to get them censored.
