Conservative/right-wing views have absolutely nothing to do with it in my books. This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences. When I see someone behaving like that, seemingly unable to carry on a civil conversation, I do not hesitate to suggest that they go back to Reddit if they’re going to behave like those people. We do NOT want this community to devolve to that level. It is not a serious suggestion that they return there - it’s more so an invitation to examine their behavior, and maybe take a step back, and look at this community overall vs. that community overall, and give some consideration to maybe behaving like a mature adult instead. Spelling it out that way when dealing with those kinds of people typically just encourages them to double down though, so it gets wrapped up in that little retort instead.

I got called a shill and on Microsoft’s payroll because I didn’t defend/celebrate that behavior. I try to not bad-mouth a company on their “premises” and if I do and then get kicked out then I shouldn’t blame the company for doing so. I don’t have a right to be a jerk to “them” on their property, even if it’s not to an actual person.

If you want to invite them to reexamine their behavior... Actually do that, not the other more aggressive, offensive, and immature thing... Then play it off as something more. 'fuck you!' 'fuck me?' 'no, no, that's not what I meant!' Just say what you actually meant!
