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.

    we want all folks to feel welcome

    That’s another thing they’ll tell you, to add to your point. They’ll say general society, or lefties, are unwelcoming hypocrits for expressing the need for inclusion while not including fascists.

    They’ll word the same opinions in a million ways until they find the way that gets you to allow them to continue blabbering intolerant bull crap.

      I’m a big fan of free speech.

      Nazis scare minorities into not being able to fully exercise their right to free speech.

      So censoring the far right actually results in a net gain in free speech for society and communities as a whole.
