Had a long conversation the other day with someone who doesn’t know what ‘fascism’ means, and insisted I’m the fascist for calling out an actual fascist.

The issue isn’t the platform, it’s that many people are ignorant (sometimes by design, and sometimes by their own choice).

As Lemmy becomes more popular, we’ll see more of this.

I try to be gentle at first, because some people didn’t choose to be ignorant and can be reformed, but trolls are also learning we exist.
