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. > https://lemmy.world/post/694810?scrollToComments=true
The idea that everyone deserves a voice no matter how horrific those voices are is an idea that needs to die. Fascists, racists, bigots, nazis, etc. Should never be allowed a “safe space”
Direct confrontation usually works well enough and can resolve whether someone is serious or playing devils advocate
