I’m simply asking this question because of Lemmygrad.ml existing, and that there isn’t a far-right equivalent of it yet. If Lemmygrad has any standing for its right to exist under free speech, where is the line drawn for other extremist political ideologies? If Holodomor skepticism is allowed, then what stops Holocaust skepticism? (as it is generally accepted the Holodomor was man-made). I’m simply wondering what gives far-left politics a right to promote such extremist views in the Fediverse, when their far-right counterparts would be Defederated in minutes.
Isn’t Truth Social (Trump’s thing) technically part of the fediverse, since it runs on Mastodon? I don’t know if they’re a far-right equivalent of lemmygrad since I haven’t spent time on either but it seems like a fair parallel.
Personally I’m not a fan of eager defederation. I’m skeptical of the benefits of deplatforming and I think that casual use of the banhammer, even if the subjects deserve it, is corrosive to our own ability to think clearly.
