Tldr lemmy mods apologising for fash on lemmy and the mods/admins/users defending the bigot as they recruit others to their dogshit instance.
Oh also one user calling lgbtq+ user a pedophile pushing that same vile rhetoric used by fascists to dehumanised lgbtq+ people and they didn’t get banned immediately. So criticalresist gets banned for telling users to fuck off but using dehumanising homophobia to bully a Comrade is a-ok by lemmy mod standards.
Leftist social media? What a laugh. They stand for nothing and fall for everything.
Update: the wolfballs admin seems to have fled while deleting their comments and the abjectly homophobic comment by another user was removed but further comments continuing the bs idea that a user here is a groomer because she is part of the lgbtq+ community persist further legitimising that assumption that the two (lgbtq+ and noncing) are somehow linked.
Do better lemmy.
this is fairly surprising because its creator Dessalines is very based as far as I’m aware
not that surprising, back when lemmy was federated with wolfballs dessalines was opposed to enabling bigots and even made some arguments for not listing bigoted instances on join-lemmy.org, while nutomic argued against defederation and said people opposed to wolfballs’ free-speech were “the type to call everything [they] disagree with fascist”
Edit: should probably mention I do have receipts, including lengthy defense of anti-vaxxers by nutomic, agreement with someone posting anti-trans rhetoric, nutomic disagreeing with dessalines banning someone over racism, homophobia and transphobia (the other wolfballs admin) and asserting that those are, in fact, acceptable topics on lemmy.ml (and dessalines uses the same nazi bar analogy used in this latest thread to attempt to persuade nutomic to uphold a wolfballs admin ban)
almost like nutomic is actually pals with the right wingers and shares a lot of their views. hmmm.
Lemmy.ml is not a leftist instance, one of the main admins is a bigoted free speech anti-vax weirdo masquerading as an ML and reverts bans for his wolfballs buddies. Truly a place to be avoided like the plague (that nutomic probably doesn’t believe exists)
Here’s the main problem.
This nutomic person really sounds like a fascist sack of shit (no nutomic, we don’t call everything we dislike fascism, I don’t like peanut butter, but it’s not fascist). Even if nutomics own politics aren’t open, brazen, goosestepping fascism, they are, giving them huge benefit of the doubt, the ‘person at a table with a nazi’, they are complicit, and no better than them.
