That entire instance is infested with a massive amount of right-wing hate, transphobia, homophobia, and ugly political vitriol under the guise of “allowing free speech”, rising to the same level or worse than lemmygrad (which we have already defederated from for obvious reasons). Please get this garbage off of the “all” page given that the entire instance actively breaks the rules of lemmy.one and is only providing them with a larger platform. I think a few trolls may have already spilled over.

just take a 20 second scroll through this mess or any of the other communities there: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

    The “free speech even if you don’t like it” shtick is very romantic and reasonable sounding, but it ignores how extremism spreads and escalates.

    The far-right have spent a lot of time and money figuring out how to best spread their shitty ideology and have learned what every other cult has – the softest targets are the disillusioned, the deeply mentally ill, the idiots and the kids.

    They share stories about how they became radicalised and they all read much the same – they read the memes, dipped a toe into the “alt-light” and then let upvotes and algorithms funnel them into mask off Nazism, cheering on domestic terrorists.

    I dont know (nor care) if you’re platforming them because you’re ignorant of how it works or because you know exactly how it works but I won’t be a part of any instance that tolerates scumbags like that.

    Your argument may as well be “maybe the children should decide if they want to be groomed and molested, instead of parents and police deciding for them”.
