Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities existsting in their own spaces, barring illegal content. I am hoping that the new users are coming here with the intent to learn how this community works, before we try to remake the community we just left.

The difference is what's considered extremist on the left isn't the party platform, whereas racism, homophobia, misogyny, and various other forms of bigotry are mainstream right-wing politics in the US.

I'm not talking about parties, I'm talking about the political spectrum. There is no "Right-Wing Party", nor is there a "Left-Wing Party". Conservatives and liberals can be found in both of the actual dominant American parties.

So you know nothing about American politics, or are such a fucking ostrich that you're somehow able to headsand the entirety of the past fifteen fucking years during which time the goddamn Republican party lost their mind because a Black dude was President. That's cool.

Fuck off.
