Side note: This is also what’s happening on Lemmy. We remove posts promoting fascism and suddenly people accuse us of censoring EVERYTHING we don’t agree with.

    OP, serious question for your side note - can you define what “promoting fascism” that you’re going to censor is? Like, actual examples apart from displaying swastika or denying holocaust which no one takes seriously?

      You don’t count displaying swastika or holocaust denying as promoting fascism? Reasonable people wouldn’t take it seriously, but reasonable people aren’t their audience. How Nazis recruit in person is trying to convince you that everyone else is terrible, so the Nazis weren’t that bad. Are you referring to that?

        I’m referring to it being a lazy and obvious example - likely not actual thing that gets conservatives complaining about being censored (as they wouldn’t defend it too).

        So what ate these things you’re going to ban that would get the conservatives banned (like the guy in your meme that couldn’t say). I’m genuinely curious. Like the usual controversy on social media that is pro-life vs pro-choice? Or something like that?
