    So reading all the comments here:

    X is far Right, conservatives - bad.

    Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.

    You both sound as bad as each other.

      How your comment reads to the rest of us:

      "Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad

      Wrong reason people like lemmy - good

      You both sound the same to me"

      If we’re being honest, they’re both echo chambers, but one of decidedly more malevolent than the other.

      The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.

        Israel is doing genocide but the Jews are real victims of US political discourse

          I think bombing civilians is bad and going after people because of their religion is also bad. You don’t actually need to choose either or.

            Id assume they meant residents of the Jewish state who are on the side of the Jewish states government, not all Jews worldwide…but I’m just giving benefit of the doubt. Similarly I assume people saying Americans chose this or Americans support genocide mean the 51% who do.

            every time holocaust and jews are brought up in the modern context, you are making that choice.

      No no you see once in Lemmy you can engage in the communist left vs liberal center-left battles. It’s turtles all the way down.
