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.

      Who defines what counts as “bigotry”? I think the guys over at beehaw are extremely bigoted. does that mean that we should prevent everyone from speaking with them simply because I think they’re bigots?

      The problem here is what gets defined as bigotry and who gets to define it? I was called a nazi for expressing the same opinion I’m expressing here. Do you think that might be a bit much? How long until the bubble of acceptable thoughts and opinions shrinks so much YOU get defined as a nazi?

        Your argument is known as the “slippery slope fallacy”, @Kantiberl.

        Edit: I’m guessing it’s a bug, but I can’t get this comment to reply to the right person.
