It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

  • Indeed, I’ve been finding myself hesitant to chime in on this because I know I’m inevitably going get lumped in with transphobe Nazi facists because at some point I’m going to say “hey hang on, there’s some nuance here that you’re missing.”

    • i’m gonna be honest with you. the “”“nuance”“” that you think exists is fully a dogwhistle in and of itself, and exposes a fundamental ignorance of the science, medicine, and history of gender. a position against allowing people to receive lifesaving medical care which is recommended by most major medical organizations worldwide, and has been extensively studied for its efficacy, puts you at odds not with people with “different opinions”. but a well established, scientifically verified healthcare plan which saves actual human lives. to my mind, its almost as absurd as anti-vaxxers, which is unsurprisingly another belief held in high regard by fascists and nazis. you should feel uncomfortable being “lumped in” with transphobe nazi fascists, because the ideas of transphobe nazi fascists towards gender and sexuality have been part of transphobe nazi fascist rhetoric since the original nazis, and finding “”“nuance”“” in the space between fascists and doctors puts you in alliance with only one of those groups.
