Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about “I can’t use muh slurs, this is awful.”

“The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media.” /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn’t far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they’re lying, they’re too stupid to figure out lemmy.

    On the one hand, I hate the right’s bullshit. But, on the other hand, there was some comfort in having the ability to keep tabs on them. If they pick a different space, it’ll be harder to anticipate what they’re planning.

      They already have several. Vote, 8chan, 4chan, parler, telegram, truth spcial, pockets of reddit, and twitter now i guess. I can’t think of as many leftist equivalents.

        frankly i can only think of hexbear and raddle as even remotely comparable “spaces”–and you’d need to be pretty online to even know what those are. left-social media is just not a thing in the same way as it is for the right and far-right

          And that’s so crazy to me, honestly. I remember the days when not a single ISP was willing to host Stormfront, and every website instantly banned anyone who was being a nazi. Now they embrace them.

      I disagree, it’s not hard to check in with other spaces on the internet.

        For me, its the finding of other spaces thst I find difficult because I don’t spenf s lot of time online, so community seeking and vetting are skills I don’t have.

          That’s a good point, I suppose I take it for granted that I’m in communities with many links to other communities.

          That said, the ones I’m talking about tend to try and be as loud as they can, to advertise and recruit, so for the people who are online a lot aiming to keep tabs on them, it shouldn’t be any more difficult if they’re on the same site or a different one.
