Congratulations on not being a homophobe,

I'm not seeking congrats about that. Just wondering why you didn't screencap the entire sidebar.

Really, it is an aggressive victory lap on perceived “liberal tears”.

I never said that. I never implied that. I don't think that. Those are entirely your words.

As someone with libertarian and conservative idalitions (which are fundamentally in conflict btw)

That's because, like I said, I don't vote along party lines.

you should understand how this issue in your post is related to the deregulation of chemical corporations, science denial, and systematic grant pulls.

I know what the article said I read it, then I posted it.

I’m not even a Democrat so really your whole notion of voting your way out of fascism is lost on me.

I'm not even a Republican, so really your whole notion of implying that I voted for fascism is lost on me

Ps: I do honestly value diversity, including that of opinion, which is why I haven’t blocked you or the communities on lemmy.today that have banned me for no reason. Although that doesn’t mean I can’t disagree. And it certainly doesn’t mean I have to be tolerant of threats to me or my community, and neither should you.

I appreciate that. I have never tolerated threats to your or your community. I'm happy to unblock you from my communities (EDIT: unbanned now) and I didn't even realize you have been banned from them. You may not be aware of just how much hate and trolling I get from people who don't read the articles and just assume stuff about me without ever having a real conversation.

I've been told to kill myself (with very graphic descriptions of how to go about doing that), co-mods have quit Lemmy regarding threats of doxing, my most recent Lemmy stalker said he wanted my jawbone and skull hanging on his wall, one of my fellow mods is trans and she was receiving horrible hateful DM's because she was helping me mod this comm, and some instances have my name hardcoded into their pre-ban lists.

Plenty of people who suggest that they may not be Democrats have been quickly, and wrongly, accused of being me.

And why does all that happen? Because I post a few articles from Fox News in a conservative comm. I don't post them to other communities, just my own conservative community. I don't spread it out to Lemmy. I just keep it in my little conservative community which most block anyway.

But people think that's worth fucking death threats? What the actual fuck is wrong with people these days? lolol
