And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don’t understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

    I disagree, fascism is everyone’s problem, and ignoring it only gives it power.

      Yes but having spaces where we do not talk about the scum of the earth is a totally different thing from ignoring the problem.

        Not really. “We don’t talk about that here” is literally playing straight into the hands of this fascist onslaught and thought manipulation online.

        Safe spaces are EXACTLY what people in the far right want. Not for anything they dont like, like Trans acceptance or long term ecological rehabilitation.

        But absolutely 100% “hey I’m tired of seeing the hellscape of my own creation so if we could limit any troublesome ‘politics’ or ‘social agenda’ discussion that would be great.”

        So no, creating a ‘safe space’ is exactly the same thing as ignoring the problem. Out of sight, out of mind, right?

          I swear there is a botswarm in here downvoting anyone who isn’t for censorship. It’s ridiculous the ratios, you’re definitely in the right here.

            „Every time the vote doesn’t approve of my point, it must be a bot swarm“.

            Look, this is not about censorship. It is about where the right place for certain things is. I see you naked in the sauna? That’s alright. I see you naked at my workplace? I will kick you out. Easy as that.

            No one, even USsians who are no right-wing motherfuckers and should care about those things can be angry all the time. You will burn out pretty soon. Go out, be angry, do something. But when youncome back home, live your live, try to be as happy as possible and load your batteries, or you will hurt very much .

        Yeah I’m not convinced it is. We know a big part of the issue is voter apathy, and if you aren’t furious then you aren’t paying attention. For you a politics free space might not enable apathy, but it very clearly does for many, many other people.

          If people are being force-fed horrors at every turn, even in their happy little hobby place then that will feed apathy. People can only care for so much for so long before they get burnt out and don’t have the energy to care for others or themselves anymore. In which case, many people will stop caring for others simply so they have the mental and emotional resources to care for themselves

            Not horrors. Reality.

            Being burnt out is a privilege you will not have when this all reaches the logical conclusion.

      Only so much non US Americans can do about the orange though. . .

      So, all those do not constantly need to engage with American politics.

        This is not about American politics. It’s about ALL politics, period. And how do you define what is and what isn’t politics? It’s not exactly a trivial proposition, and the decision lies all in the hands of a few right skewed mods, just like on Reddit, and just like on Reddit they abuse that power to silence opinions that they don’t personally agree with.

          Alex Pretti is just US-American politics though. Nobody outside of the US has any other opinion than that this was a public execution by the police. We just don’t want to continuously engage with bad faith actors online. This is something Americans have to fix themselves.
