      Fascism itself is also a political movement. Of course the movement against it is also political, but I don’t think it’s “too” political.

        I’d have said the same thing even for proclamed fascism. I just prefer politics free stuff, It works better with everything

          Except literally everything can be political. Even the very idea of open source.

          There’s no way to completely get away from politics, it’s just so pervasive in modern culture. If an open-source project is going to take a political stance, this is one that’s high on the list of not-bad politics

            Well not plastering it on the front page of the instance is a good start.

                are we worried about offending the facists?

                Of course not. I’m just saying that things are just a bit too politically charged here to the point of feeling preachy. I guess it’s fine if the devs only want lemmy to be a platform for political activists, but for your everyday people just wanting to share funny memes, talk about tech, games, etc, it can be a little offputting, even if they personally agree with the stance.
