Been seeing a lot of people coming in here handwringing about 'red fash' and 'muh authoritarianism.'

Figuring that this will be a common occurrence for a while, so wanted to make a collective thread here. The purpose of this is to just have one spot as so we don't fill up the comm with a ton of posts about it.

Post away, comrades!

    Yo what, there are replies in there from exploding heads, isn't that the straight up Nazi instance? Is lemmy.world federated with that?

      Exploding heads is indeed the nazi instance. Funnily enough, people in the thread are accusing one of their users for spreading communist propaganda.

        Crazy how the fascists always end up being there when people start punching left 🤔

      Lemmy.world is federated with almost everything, including exploding heads and something called ”posting lolicon rocks”. I think posting about that caused them to ban me from their meta community, since they're apparently thin skinned about anyone calling them out on their tankie obsession.

      I didn't realize there was a Nazi Lemmy instance, is Lemmy world the only place federating with them? Seems absurd that anyone would openly associate with them.

        I need to assume it's just them not doing due diligence researching who to ban
