It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

    Going to bring it up again, the Paradox of Tolerance disappears when you consider tolerance a social contract rather than a moral standard.

    Nazis base their identity and politics around not tolerating the presence of various minorities, and therefore aren’t entitled to tolerance themselves.

    TERFs base their identity and politics areound not tolerating trans people, and therefore aren’t entitled to tolerance themselves.

    Furries don’t base their identity on excluding, invalidating or persecuting someone else, so furries are entitled to tolerance.

    So, the furry boards stay but we need to defederate Nazis and TERFs.
