If the internet existed in Germany in the 1930's, I wouldn't take much solace in the fact that the fascists are getting downvoted. They're getting into power and every day they spread more and more dehuminization and hate.
On reddit they became cesspools because the admins refused to do anything about their fascism, so I don't have a lot of trust for the admins of lemmy.
Would you be happier if it was only upvotes? I don't follow your logic at all.
I just don't want fascism to be allowed on this instance to begin with.
I get the inclination to want admins to ban them... but not only is that unnecessary (at this point in time!) it's also a far, far weaker rebuke than the entire community refusing to let them trend.
We saw how on reddit, banning subs simply resulted in them making new ones.
At least on lemmy there is visible evidence that no matter what they call their community it will be rejected by the lemmy community as a whole.
At least here's hoping!
Agreed. I have faith that a level headed discussion is usually enough to overcome most hatred

Thanks!
Fascism = political viewpoint that I disagree with
No, fascism is from the side that pushes their Christian agenda onto people. Decides how they should live their life if they are born with the wrong plumbing, decides if a women should complete her pregnancy even at the risk of her own life and decides what books are allowed at school.
Never said that
