Text from article:
David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.
Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.
“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.
Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

This is the first I've seen of a conservative Lemmy community. God willing it is the last I see of one as well. At this point I unironically believe Lemmy needs a healthy amount of tankies so that right-wingers know they're not welcome here~ ❤️
That's mean to say but I'm trying to switch over from Reddit and I'm honestly just so done with MAGA stinking up every damn space it's insane, I don't want them to even breathe in my direction. With RFK Jr as the recent pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, I just might need to enforce that boundary literally.
Reminds me of this

From what I've seen, any "conservative" community on Lemmy is 2 or 3 troll accounts that make up 90% of posts. Why would far right people use Lemmy when Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are so welcoming to them?
Just to get a reaction, which so far seems to be getting down voted into oblivion.
But they probably get off on the down votes.
Owning the libs. Getting them so triggered.
russian psyops
Imagine getting assigned Lemmy. Reddit and Facebook are massive departments and Lemmy is one cubicle with a Linux machine and two chairs.
it’s all bots nowdays anyway
so every early 2000s startup!
On the bright side, if there is another pandemic, we'll get a nice case study in Darwinism
I knew a few people that died (working in a hospital) from COVID but the last one that did was a full on conservitive that was the first to take the mask off and complain about it.... until one day when I went to his desk and his coworkers told me he was out sick.... and then a week later he was dead from complications from COVID.
I’ve had a very difficult time differentiating tankies from trumpers.
Well, half of them are Russian bots, but a real tankie will throw billionaires and Nazis into woodchippers and that's my personal bar for tolerance.
That is one job they're good for. Been trying to tell the anti-leftist crusaders the last few years they're just facilitating right-wing safe space.
So now we got conservative communities posting breitbart and users feeling safe to critisize the Nuremburg trial. Like I know it is all the rage to question the holocaust on reddit now, but damn they move fast when they see opportunity.
