“Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism” - Happybadger, 2025
They didn’t specify Hexbear or Lemmygrad by name which is the normal course for a radlib from somewhere like lemmy.world when they’re making this kind of post. That to me says they didn’t join an instance like mine where there’s an actual culture of left purity testing. I can all but guarantee they joined lemmy.ml, .world, or one of the other instances that are about as liberal as bluesky and actively recruited during the IPO-era reddit exodus. Reddit is so obscenely reactionary/libertarian that they’d be culture shocked by a lemmy instance where they can’t openly say the most antisocial thing you’ve heard this week and get a little trophy for it.
If anyone says that the general fediverse feed is too radical for them, it’s on them to disprove they’re a Nazi. They might not even consciously consider themselves a Nazi, but they’re going down some pewdiepipeline. The general fediverse feed, and most of the content you’d see on an explicitly radical instance like mine, is so benign if not milquetoast liberal that you shouldn’t feel this kind of opposition to it. Nothing about the instances I generally disagree with would make me want to go back to reddit on a new account. To feel ideological solidarity with but not any part of the fediverse is a huge red flag.
I genuinely don’t have a clue what “extremist content” (in terms of mainstream instances) they’re talking about. If fucking .world is “radical” to you i don’t want to see your opinions on a bad day lol.
The worst part is they’re flooding lemmy now, i’ve noticed an uptick in racism (admin, so i see most reports) and it’s pretty fucking disappointing. I left reddit due to racism against arabs and non-westerners in general, and those idiots want to come here? Fuck, lemmy isn’t perfect but way better than those scumbags.
