Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

Oh, Lemmy has fascists now.

The left wing was cutting public services, right. Famous left wing policy. I think you're thinking of liberals.

    One of the main 'issues' with decentralised social media is that it allows the fringes of the political spectrum to have a platform. We'll have to find a way to get along.

    I'm not sure I want to "get along" with fascists.

    Defederation is an outrageously blunt instrument for moderation.

    It's part of a process.

    • Step 1. Nazi says nazi things.
    • Step 2. Non nazi reports to instance admin.
    • Step 3. If the nazi is local, the instance admin can choose to ban. If not, the instance admin can choose to ban the user from their own instance and then escalate to the nazi's instance admin.
    • Step 4. If the nazi's instance admin takes action, the nazi needs to find a new home, end of story. If not, that means that the nazi's instance admin is chill with nazi shit.
    • Step 5. The local instance admin can then chose to defederate from an instance that is chill with nazi shit.

    To me this looks like a pretty robust process. What other steps would you add?

    Main thing I can think of is an option for non-admin users to block an instance on the client side. Like blocking a community or user except it does both, for everybody from that instance.

    It can't be that whoever has a different opinion is a fascist, also because I was just having a conversation, it doesn't make sense, if everyone else is a fascist, the term loses any meaning and it's hard to fight back the real fascists. Guess another issue with the boom of lemmy is that all the judge juries and executors from twitter are arriving.

    No you're just a fascist agreeing with a fascist government. Might as well call yourself what you are.
