I have an entire conversation on here where the majority of Lemmy users told me democrats should start killing people.

Also, what fucking moderation?

It is kinda bs that republicans kill people constantly but democrats never do. The solution is ideally that republicans stop killing people though. I don't think suddenly becoming just as murderous is a good idea unless we break out into literal civil war.

I gotta ask for receipts for that one. Also ... what do you mean by "democrats should start killing people?"

Also, what fucking moderation?

Well however ineffective some may find it, moderation does occur on lemmy. But beyond that, my point was that an awful statement is an awful statement and should be dealt with accordingly. But it doesn't necessarily mean that an entire political position thinks the same way and to infer as much without more would really just be prejudice.
