People denying realities like anthropogenic climate change. I can respect opinions, like applying full human value to an undeveloped fetus, but the straight up denial of what is verified truth I can’t even tolerate. It’s false. It’s lies. It’s brainwashed tribalism. And they are gonna dig their tribal community hole and stew in reactionary rage and fear with their incoherent arguments whilst following their strong leaders, because gods forbid they are wrong on anything. No, truth itself is gonna bend around the word of dear leader.

The hateful cult newspeak is also rubbing me, but the denial of reality is the killer. And the mindnumbing memes that try to outwit with one-two sentences on comprehensive subjects. Political memes are a blight upon humanity and should be banned. Thanks for reading my sour micro(?)thought!

    Ultimately, this is the benefit of federated communities. Whole communities that are connected can straight up democratically quarantine communities that do not moderate these kinds of people off the platform. We don’t need to wait for national news stories to take down a jailbait community, or terrorist attacks to happen to take down an alt-right cesspool. It’s far easier for users to mitigate damage and put pressure on server admins to deplatform specific sub communities or users, or risk having their server completely defederated.

    If you see a user engaging in far right antics, science denialism, or any sort of behavior of the sort, report them, and take note of how mods and admins respond to it.
