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.

    I was so fucking relieved to see that lemmy.world doesn’t fuck around with the fascist “absolute free-speech” game. Fucking FINALLY! If I didn’t already have a reason not to return to reddit/Twitter/whatever, this would’ve been enough on its own. Thank you, admins!

      Agreed.

      There’s no good reason to platform people who proudly espouse terrorist ideologies, and fascism is 100% a terrorist ideology.

      Well, we learned the lesson from Voat. “Absolute free speech” just doesn’t work.
