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.
I hope the admins decide to actually deal with these people. lemmy.ml is good for educating vaguely leftist people about imperialism (directly, or by them viewing Lemmygrad posts), so it’d be unfortunate if we had to stop interacting with that instance
Once upon a time there were places in Reddit where you could educate vaguely leftist people about things.
Yeah, I’ve seen old threads on non-communist subr*ddits where communists were able to talk without being banned. Basically unthinkable now
Then the ultras came.
Yeah agree, I’ve cooled down a bit since yesterday but some of the abject homophobia is still up on that comment thread and it makes me angry.
I just feel sad that it’s gotten this bad
