  • Nothing here says he’s a fascist. His “genocide denial” stance stems mostly from the idea of being anti-capitalist and not trusting US-centric sources. Its not entirely without merit. Noam Chomsky for example is accused of the same thing for the Pol Pot genocide, though at the time he was right for the same reasons – accusations started flying in the US based on completely banal sources.

    I used to be like this, its not entirely harmful. And in any case, I don’t give a shit about his politics. We should be thinking about how to separate peoples politics from the platform, and the work hes done on Lemmy does exactly that.



  • Well you don’t HAVE to go on every community to see what every single community says about something though. You can just have the couple communities you follow and check those. Likely there will just be a couple of big communities for each topic, not dozens. What might happen even is that you have certain instances specializing in certain topics. You might have left wing and right political instances for example, so you’d just check the 1-2 instances you follow.

    Each instance would effectively become analogous to the old time forums.

    Like I said though, there is also the possibility of merging content from different instances into a single page.
