Their defense mechanism is just to simply ban what they don’t like. Sooner or later, their little walled garden is going to start smelling like shit from the smug arrogance of all the fart-smellers that pretend to have a clue.
I mean, all moderated spaces on the internet suffer from this problem. Lemmy.blahaj.zone has a blanket ban on all Marxist-Leninists because they think we are all authoritarian. Which, btw, is hilariously ironic. An anarchist space on an anti-censorship platform has a rule that says “No Authoritarians,” but they resort to Authoritarianism to enforce it. You can’t make this shit up.
Blahaj is genius, best place to maintain an account. In fact there was such a big fight one of the big mods in .ML was banned for gatekeeping and they’ve been incredibly butthurt ever since.
thankfully the mod team over there is excellent and not made up of chronically online authoritarian-obsessed weirdos. I think the lack of access to them, the truth thar blahaj called to their bigotry, really affects them.

Same energy as “how can you claim to be tolerant if you don’t tolerate fascism”
Are you really out here spouting horseshoe theory? Imagine equating communism with fascism in 2025 while claiming to be a leftist.
You should read more. Authoritarian doesn’t mean “When there’s rules”.
Yeah it means “when there’s rules that western liberals don’t like”
When those rules are to blanket ban everyone who disagrees with you, that’s authoritarian.
The rules don’t do that though. They ban groups such as nazis and leninists. Which is based.
I guess it’s based if you hate successful socialist projects 🤷
Are those successful leninist projects in the room right now?
Pure projection
