What's with users of fediverse using 'Go back to reddit' as a retort to other users? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Both sidesing genocide is still bad even if you are "debunking" hard-line pro genociders. If your position is anything short of Israel shouldn't exist it's liberal Zionism. You should have nothing but support for the liberation movements of oppressed nations even if they don't fit your pr standard.

    Sure. Please explain that to whichever mod is the Zionist. Maybe I'll actually speak out against it again, then.

    I checked the modlog and you were very much banned for concern trolling about "Israelis being victims" while Gaza was getting flattened. You had another gem just before that where you fantasize about re-educating "brown folk".
