I am seeing this pattern a lot lately, whenever a person disagrees strongly or expresses conservative/right wing views, they are told to go back to reddit.

You can say ‘Don’t bring these bullshit views to the fediverse,’ or something of that sort. I am a reddit refugee myself, and part of the Reddit API exodus. Being told to go someplace I just left due to ethical reasons feels bad. So, I want to understand why it is being used as a retort. Is it really rude, or am I making a fuss out of nothing?

Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse. I am questioning how telling them to go back to reddit is a valid response.

Edit2 : Edited the the title to better represent my question.

    Shouldn’t ‘tell them off’ at all either.

    Teach to the problem. Or moderate it.

    Allow the person to continue coexisting.

      Yea, I mostly said it as that was the context of the convo from, “go back to reddit”. Really, “telling someone off” politely and with info is hardly telling them off at all.
