Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?

I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.

If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?

    I hate how the American polarization of political, social and economic spectrums is contaging other parts of the world

    You claim to be a critical thinker but somehow think Americans invented & propagate polarizing beliefs? In what world are you living that Europeans were bereft of polarizing viewpoints before American politics somehow tainted them?

    left leaning on social issues, right leaning on economics

    One can be, but that doesn’t mean one can’t also be mocked for such child-like views of politics. If your beliefs are so paper thin that a few downvotes on Lemmy cause you to throw a tantrum about “save Europe from American politics!”, I really question whether or not you have ANY critical thinking ability.

    It’s also ridiculous to say you’re fiscally right and socially left. Social issues are inherently economic. You cannot cherry pick ideals from vastly opposing viewpoints and say that is your stance without reconciling the friction that opposition creates. Not even acknowledging it is the least amount of critical thinking I can think of.

    It’s either you are fascist republican or communist democrat…

    No one called you a fascist in this thread so that disproves “it’s either or”, are you dredging up some past experience? Why are you dealing in such absolutes? Again I don’t think someone who “thinks critically” would say that “both sides” are always one thing or another. Just sounds like you have a lot to learn about yourself and the world.
