“Why would you even get into bestiality?” he asked. “We’re not into bestiality,” said Patel.

In a further exchange, Patel explained to Senator John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican, that previously, regulations had barred anyone who engaged in bestiality “on either side of it.”

“Either side of what, the bestiality?” asked Kennedy. “So you disqualified the animal?”

“We have great canines, but we’re not going to disqualify them,” said Patel.

There's conservatives everywhere on Lemmy lmfao. There's even conservatives who think they're communists, there are so many right wing cesspools here just like every other website. There's also just a lot of right wing propaganda that's so prevalent elsewhere that it's getting regurgitated by majority of people worldwide and then gets plastered all over here by "extreme leftists" who don't even realize what they're saying. I do envy your experience here though.

I blocked ml. That's probably why.

Lol that's a good point, I haven't blocked any communities and only blocked a couple users.

I probably should currate my Lemmy experience more, i seem to get an overwhelming amount of far right content or trans communities just like back on reddit. Not that those two types of content are comparable at all, nor am I bothered by trans content in my feed, it just has nothing to with me and occasionally I'll unknowingly comment in a community that does not need or want my input, same thing happens with communities for women or regions of the world I have no direct ties to.

Honestly just double check the community before ya comment on it. Or block them as needed, probably no the most elegant solution but it works. Personally I just blocked .lm and my instance defederated enough of the other toxic fuckers that it's pretty good for me. Still lots of Trans shit but who the fuck cares, sons of bitches and daughters of bastards tend to have decent enough shit posts.
