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.

    We aren’t quite out of the woods yet. /c/ConservativesOnly /c/Maga /c/conservative and /c/prolife are still around here on lemmyworld and spreading bullshit.

      Every one of those but /c/conservative are deleted.

      Look the mod/admin tools are limited and we do or best to take care of these things asap but we also don’t want to go nuclear on something without checking it out. /c/conservativesonly and /c/maga had their mods removed a while ago and were up for grabs. that’s why we added the LW_NewModWanted to those communities and asked for new mods. Surprisingly nobody here was interested so now we deleted them completely. They can be recreated on other instances.

      Didn’t know about that /c/prolife one until now though. But it’s gone

      c/ConservativesOnly and c/Maga were removed due to lack of moderation and because the previous moderator(s) were banned.

        Holy shit… either that was in the last 10 hours or my lemmy was lagging.

        Props to the admins/mods!

        NGL part of me wanted the banned mod (OptionHome I think) to stay and be our community laughing stock.

      True but have you looked at the vote scores in those communities?

      On reddit they were cesspools but on lemmy they’re laughing stocks. The only posts they can get above zero are antithetical ones pointing out the criminality and incompetence of trump/republicans.

        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.

      Genuine question: are you just trying to censor any viewpoint that you disagree with? Because it sure as shit seems like you guys are trying to make this into another left-wing circlejerk where anything even remotely right wing is immediately removed regardless of how level-headed or civil it’s presented.

        Oh go back to your own circlejerks. You’ve got plenty. Truth Social, 4chan, Twitter…

        You do not belong here.

          My crime? Having a different opinion. You sound awfully fascist to me.

      I checked those out out of morbid curiosity and saw them mostly being trolled by lefties/libs. Warmed my heart.
