Thank You Everyone For Rejecting The Fascists/Bigots At The Door
After years of reddit/twitter/facebook propping up fascism/bigotry with algorithms & bots I'm honestly surprised and relieved to be in an online space that clearly rejects their ideology.
They can have reddit/facebook/twitter. AFAIC the only way to reach some of these people is to leave them alone long enough to realize on their own.
Just keep in mind that banning people who are wrong does not change their mind or reduce their number. The only way to change anything is to actually engage and correct them if they're wrong.
If they are banned, it reduces their voice, which reduces the number of people they can influence. You might not change their mind, but you might stop them corrupting others.
Sometimes. Other times that's just what they want, to be given a voice and to waste your time and to feel legitimized by the engagement. It's 100% fine to be intolerant of intolerance, it's the only thing that holds a tolerant society together.
Ah yes. It's such a shame that they force you to engage with them. If only there was a tool to allow you to ignore them. Or maybe if you had the constitution to do so.
