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.

because only national socialism is bad

Everyone I knows hates public schools, fire departments, road and bridge infrastructure, libraries and all those other terrible socialist institutions...

What a nonsensical take. The conversation is about fascism and bigotry, bud. Fascism is literally what national socialism is. There are tons of bad things, like cannibalism or seal-clubbing. We're not talking about those.

I genuinely don't believe you understand what fascism means. I don't mean that to be rude, or upsetting or dismissive, at least not in this comment. I think you should read up on what fascism in general, not just Nazism is.

Here are some relatively easy to digest, helpful articles:
