What's with users of fediverse using 'Go back to reddit' as a retort to other users having different views?

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?

Idk man, Lemmy is defacto a pretty lefty space, so I think it’s just a lazy way to tell someone to fuck off. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, because while I find it unproductive it’s just words on the Internet at the end of the day.

But if you feel there needs to be a corner of Lemmy where that’s not tolerated you can always try building it yourself. I honestly think that could be a good thing.
