Pitch Background I read Johann Hari's Stolen Focus recently - this is really critical reading for anyone developing or running any kind of social media service. One part of it really stuck with me ...
Nonsense cannot be based on facts, dear internet user, and I have those (in the form of personal experience and witnesses). Also the issues only arise when a member of the side of the political spectrum in question faces a different opinion on a topic that is important to them specifically (that is a part of the double standards issue). If it’s not something that can trigger them, there will be little to no issues (unless the person decides to harass the one with the opposite opinion).
What differentiates leftists from others is the inability to avoid drama and even illegal actions in such cases (though far right movements might have this issue too).
All of this makes the lies part obvious - they say they support freedom and inclusivity while openly doing the opposite. Therefore they are fascists in disguise.
I agree that there are no “pure” people. I was mainly talking about ones who oppress religion and opposing opinions (that are not even nazi). Also nice to see some civil-ish discussion for once.
How is the definition wrong?
(My understanding is that it varies a bit between servers)
Their definition is “every opinion different to ours” which in my understanding is ridiculous.
That’s true but overall similar views have similar issues.
That seems like some kind of nonsense you’ve cooked up in your head… I see people arguing about things on mastodon every day.
