Beware of what? It's no different than any other instance and capable of being subscribed to, scrolled past or blocked.
Stop advertising for them and let them have their federated echo chamber, just like the communists, socialists, leftists and others have.
it's kinda funny though
They're welcome to it.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the entire benefit of lemmy/piefed/etc... They can have their space, and any other instance can choose not to federate with them so we aren't forced to listen to them, unlike the alternative, where an algorithm forces them into everyone's face.
Rather than telling them they don't have the right to speak, we simply have the ability to shut our window and not listen to them.
Let them bitch at each other.
I've always wondered why conservatives insist on coming to the fediverse when conventional networks are more appealing to them and their ideals nowadays. Or is that still not enough?
Ideals don’t matter to them, what matters is spreading their propaganda far and wide.
Bingo. These are the same people who will say that most political violence comes from the left while removing a study showing the opposite: a study about a statistical trend that has been well known and documented for longer than I've been alive.
They don't care. Their beliefs shape shift to fit whatever is most expedient in the moment. They will openly lie to your face, without even trying to hide that it's a lie while they smile and say they're being honest. The people who gaslit the nation about project 2025 only to have cabinet members gleeposting about implementing it on social media.
Truth is irrelevant and reality is an inconvenience. Hypocrisy is as dead to them as the corpse of civility they prop up whenever it suits their narrative.
A lot if it is sowing dissent and breaking discourse as well.
Same reason why tankies don't just move to China, or why some Canadians had Trump bumperstickers: the point is to take over and wield authority as a weapon. Of course they try to invade and pollute every space they can and muddy waters wherever possible.
When I was a conservative piece of shit, in my younger days, I had the most outlandish bumper stickers you can imagine. Probably more outlandish than you can imagine, actually, 99.9% likelihood. There were quite a few. I knew I was being an ass and I loved when it offended people, because I was miserable. Someone was paying attention to me. I was getting a reaction. I existed! Anyway, yeah, it can be as simple as "they get off on ruining your day cuz they're miserable pieces of shit." Speaking from experience.
They go everywhere because even if a bunch of people are like “fuck off nazis” there will be a few people that are like “oh hey you have some good ideas”.
That’s why they’ve been recruiting online since the beginning of the internet. Capture whoever you can that’s sympathetic and keep bolstering numbers by any means necessary. Worked out pretty well for them
Free platforms like the Fediverse would actually suit conservative ideals of freedom quite well.
If they cared about ideals, that is.
Or freedom
Since when do conservatives follow conservative ideals of freedom?
That's a reason why it won't work - see Reddit's r/Conservative which lists every post as "approved speech only" aka "flaired users only".
They need an audience to perform for. When ever you see a social media "safe space" for conservatives (Voat, Truth Social, etc.) they almost always wither and die. They need people to blame for being everything wrong with the world as well as react to their terrible takes, otherwise there's no point in shouting their outrage and anger on the internet.
Funny rule

I hate how maga people call themselves patriots. They are the most unamerican people ever. Everything they stand for is in direct opposition to the America ideals.
They are so immersed in the Conservative Propaganda Machine that they are literally living in an alternative reality from 2/3 of America, and the entire rest of the planet. They have created all these imaginary enemies attacking them on every front, and they think THEY are the ones living real life, and the rest of us side with their imaginary enemy.
And for some reason, the "intelligent" people that we have elected to protect us from such silliness, has decided to pretend that the MAGA nonsense, treason, and corruption, should be respected, and indulged.
This is just universal monk jerking themselves off.
I'm so glad we can always rely on Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart for honest and reasonable assessments of situations.
I’ve noticed a significant uptick in rightist trolls on the fediverse since the devil called Charlie Kirk home. Absolutely nowhere is safe from fascist infiltration for long. Hopefully the half decent instances defederate from those cesspits en masse.
1 month later: why is our new instance filled exclusively with incels and edgelords and fuckwits?
1 year later: President Trump signs executive order requiring everyone to federate with MAGA
1 year + 1 day later: turns out all instances are running on non-American servers.
damn, i gotta check out that place later. i wonder how MAGA will interact with the fediverse. like, how can you be anarchistic and bootlicking at the same time?
edit: this is hilarious.
bootlicking: check ✅️
"especially towards Americans"
well, at least this one i can understand. Now i have to think about What the Turtle said to Achill, somehow.
this gotta be a troll account. Why is there an "antifa" community on the https://maga.place/ instance?
Rule 2 seems to negate most of the defining characteristics of the MAGA movement, no?
Why would they not just stay on Twitter, Truth Social, reddit or Facebook? Those places are tailor-made for MAGA 🤔
They want to spread their diareah everywhere
100% a parody instance: https://maga.place/post/2245?scrollToComments=true
Even mention Epstein+Trump like that would be a site-wide shadowban posted on /r/conservative.
It's good though. It's plausibly pro trump.
I can't believe there's this many people talking about an instance with one user.
Debating the big issues here guys.
Hot take (?):
It's fantastic that there is a branch of MAGA who hates the corporate Internet as much as we do.
safe from the madness and censorship of the fediverse.
Sounds like they explicitly don't want to federate. Unless it's a parody site, I guess.
Another hive of pedophiles. Wonderful.
I bet it's yet another joint run by the Internet Research Agency or its successors.
good thing they want to be free from the fediverse, because the fediverse should definitely be free from this shit.
defederate fascists.
Wonder if they know about the Epstein files 🤔
