What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

You’ve actually found right leaning people on Lemmie? I thought they were either shoved out, bullied out or pushed out or just given up and left and went somewhere else.

More of a white-supremist/anti-LGBTQ/pro-Israel mashup.

But left-leaning, so they got that going for them.

Left-leaning by what definition?

I'm not saying that as a challenge, I'm legitimately curious what interpretation of 'left' tolerates those ideas. Even a bigot with economically social ideas (like a Strassertite) is typically considered 'right-wing'.

Seemed to hate the current administration, and usa policies, but then they were German so who knows.
