That's the neat part: you don't.

I had to explain to someone that I cut ties with a friend after they became a neo-nazi and they responded with, and I quote "You know, you just need to be more forgiving of people" which prompted me to remind them "they became a Nazi" - "Well, you know..."

Everyone is either a polite fascist or a rude fascist and there are no other options

NYT are running debunked disinformation from Zionist propagandists. They can stuff it.

Not going to listen to a publication that not even half a year ago was all in on fucking NFTs.

A grabby 😻

Your username is funnier that that guy's comment.

Cool so the democrats going to stop funding genocide? No? Didn't think so.

Holy shit your username.

I would normally reserve judgement

This is exactly why debatebro culture is like this. The more time you spend debating the facts the less energy you have for convincing people away from their nazi talking points. It's the biggest reason why "prove it" is so often used by fascists to shut down conversations they don't like.

All imperialist militaries are, they're just open and proud of the fact.

We've all seen a "I don't want chemicals in my food" reactionary. They're not racist or anything just fueled more by anger than by principal.

You go into All feed and despite your language being set to only English it's just a massive wall of Japanese text. Lemmy has the decency to automatically tag posts the language that it probably is. Mastodon requires you go out of your way to set your language, and apparently a lot of Japanese and German speaking "How to set up Mastodon" guides are skipping over that important detail.

Another problem is that hashtags are abysmal at context. I want to see some bootyholes, no I do not want to see Greg's hairy Italian ass nor do I want to hear people ranting about how their least favorite politician is a total jerk, and I SURE AS HELL DONT WANT TO SEE "barely legal" shit thank GOD for hashtag blocking!!! Being able to subscribe to hashtags is great but it needs a basic filtering system on a hash-tag level.

There's also the problem that the only people who hashtag properly are the bots, so your feed is like 90% bots. Hashtags just suck and it's ridiculous that mastodon didn't learn from twitter phasing them out as a focus and basically recreated early twitter without the algorithms.

I like how votes have no sway in moderating and discoverability. It keeps people honest instead of just trying to game the system.

With how block-heavy everyone is it feels less like a soapbox more like you're shouting into an empty parking lot.

They were fun after Tumblr shut down if you know what I mean.

It stems from a somewhat reactionary (in a "I don't want chemicals in my food" way) prospective where they knew the outcome of algorithms was bad but didn't understand why it was bad. Now they have their own algorithm and it's repeating a lot of the same mistakes.

Mastodon is basically just a bunch of guilty liberals who feel bad that their baby had became a nazi, but are not willing to take the steps necessary to grow from there. Lemmy comes from redditors who saw the platform as always being full of overt displays of nazism and thus were able to appropriately grow from the experience and free themselves from its influence.

When you look back at your reddit days you are ashamed, because you now know why it was wrong. When mastodon users look back at twitter they reminisce with fondness of their times hanging out with war criminals and retweeting right wing sources that agreed with them.

Obscene projection. How did you write that whole ass comment and never for a millisecond think "wait, i'm the one doing that"

You have correctly identified the contradiction however need to work a little bit on resolving it.

There are two people when it comes to neoliberalism: People who are educated and see it for the proto-nazism that it is, and people who think it just means when you're nice to gay people. Liberalism on its own has the veneer of progressivism but neoliberalism whittles away the veneer and exposes the child abuse, slavery, mass exploitation, genocide, and overt ties to fascist death squads underneath it.
