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.
No, characters like that aren’t here to have their minds changed. They’re here to stir the shit, and we have no obligation to make room for them.
Platforming fascists spreads fascism. Yes, banhammer and defederate them! Don’t let hate spread.
It only spreads fascism if you’re unable to refute them. Are your arguments against it that weak?
Sounds like you’re being a concern troll, but in case you aren’t, the issue is Brandolini’s Law:

Everybody should probably delete concern troll from their lexicon. All it does is let you dishonestly dismiss any criticism you don’t like.
