It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

    Do you prefer having a centralized authority dictating your exposure to content? What prevents you from personally blocking instances you disagree with and allowing others to make their own choices? Is it possible that the idea of critical thinking is discomforting and it’s more convenient to be shielded from diverging opinions, rather than exercising personal discernment?

      Like, you mean, a website? That’s what you mean by “centralized authority”, right? A website? With its Terms and Conditions, following the applicable copyright and IP laws, following the relevant laws of the jurisdiction it operates in? Yeah, I’m fine with that.

      If you’re not, go to Exploding Heads. They welcome you. They want you.

      We don’t.

        I don’t want exploding-heads. I would have blocked the instance myself if it hadn’t been blocked already. My issue is I don’t like having content blocked FOR me because I’m a functioning adult that can make my own decisions about what I see and think. You should be careful with how quick you are to cede control of what you’re allowed to see to others. Might make you pretty susceptible to hate and give you a false sense of reality.

          Oh, I see. You want 4chan.

          Well, good news! 4chan exists! Go there.

              When did I say that? I’m very toxic towards people who are cool with the view that I should be either “sentenced to death” or “hunted with dogs”.

              Oh, you’re not cool with it, you just want to force me to listen to it anyway. That’s so different.

              Go back to 4 chan, otaku.

              That’s not the same and you know it.

              Oh, is 4chan too much freedom for you? What happened to your whole “no rules, just right” attitude?

              It’s sounding more and more like you don’t give a single fuck about seeing this kind of content; you want to force us to see this content. All the places you could go to get it, and you’re still arguing that we should have to see it too or we’re not free.

              You’re right. We’re not free. We’re sad, pathetic, chained little sheep beholden to a “central authority” that doesn’t allow hate speech. Run while you can! Flee, quickly! Or you, too, might get consumed by the woke mind virus and start thinking that maybe the Jews are ok people!

      Fuck off to your sad shithole, nobody has any obligation to be nice to Nazis. To the contrary, every decent person should feel obligated to strongly tell them to fuck off. You don’t have a space here, we don’t want you here, you are not welcome.
