      I have the stupid so bear with me. Can you explain what exactly “cryptofascists” are and how LW admins qualify for the title?

        Crypto fascists are fascists who hide their true politics. Lemmy.world admins tried really hard to avoid defederating with a Nazi instance, pre-emptively defederated from a leftist one, and collaborated with an out fascist to ban db0’s piracy forum.

        They’re fascists or they collaborate with them, which means they’re fascists.
