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

Wait why are you glorifying banning "trump trash", free speech should definitely not include banning someone for their political opinions. I am voting trump next election hands down.

You don't get to agree to disagree when your political agenda involves shitting on people's rights.

This comment is not very self aware. Sad to see so many of the far left have already migrated from reddit, let me guess, you were subbed to r/politics?

The man was selling classified information, it's not a far left to view his supporters as trash, it's patriotic.

The issue with supporting Trump is all the dog whistling he does. People in the know understand that he wants to suppress "the bad people's" rights. People against that know the tolerance paradox and shut down Trumpism immediately.

People who don't know the dog whistling wonder why everyone is so upset and continue supporting him.
