As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I’ve got from that instance were low-quality transphobic “news articles”.

    Yeah thats a good thought experiment and worth thinking about.

    However this is the internet. And like the internet, lemmy is hosted by many people with many different views, and used by an even broader range of people. Tons of things get people branded as intolerant. If everybody accused of being intolerant was shunned we’d be left with only the most homogenous, boring, milquetoast echo chamber.

      I wouldn’t call it a thought experiment. It’s how the world works. Don’t be nice to nazis or a*holes or they’ll use you.

      I’m not sure if what some people call tolerace or intolerance is actually correct. Diversity is a good thing. Also diversity of oppinions. But you can’t manipulate people or lie to them with false facts. If you think about it, you can find out what’s right and wrong. But keep in mind, there is a rightful place for a anarcho leftist community and also for a safe space that i can share with my 12 year old niece or mom. Just respect people and be tolerant, but also be realistic and don’t let a few a*holes ruin everything for everyone.
