After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I’m honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.
They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.
Lemmy.world admins are doing an amazing job dealing with everything. Their recent decision to defederate from exploding heads (or whatever its called) really goes to show that they’re in it for the right reasons.
Honestly, the constant complaining about fascism and bigotry is probably the thing I dislike about the Fediverse the most. Fascism and bigotry are horrible, and I am a descendant of people persecuted for their beliefs so it is definitely personal for me, but I just don’t enjoy seeing constant complaints about it in my feed. Especially when the complaints aren’t really about fascism but are actually complaints about right-wing authoritarianism or even political conservatism in general. I think I lose a few brain cells for every such thread I see.

Buddy, not national socialism.
because only national socialism is bad
._.
Everyone I knows hates public schools, fire departments, road and bridge infrastructure, libraries and all those other terrible socialist institutions…
What a nonsensical take. The conversation is about fascism and bigotry, bud. Fascism is literally what national socialism is. There are tons of bad things, like cannibalism or seal-clubbing. We’re not talking about those.
I genuinely don’t believe you understand what fascism means. I don’t mean that to be rude, or upsetting or dismissive, at least not in this comment. I think you should read up on what fascism in general, not just Nazism is.
Here are some relatively easy to digest, helpful articles:

You keep splitting hairs like that and your chin gonna be bald to buddy.
FYI fascism doesn’t come from a genie in a bottle… its born from authoritarianism and bigotry. Maybe you should take a break from the internet and let those brain cells grow back so that your ancestors don’t have to rise from the dead and slap some sense into you lol
Y’all are just authoritarians who want to censor anything you disagree with but are cowards and too afraid to be honest about it.
Smooth brain you got there dipshit
So tolerant.
From a political science view you are correct people like Trump are technically not a fascist…yet
Can you define fascism?
