Please tell me that political compass memes aren’t going to be invading lemmy.

    I think this is the only good one

    Inclined to agree- but god I hope this doesn’t open the floodgates. That subreddit is about as cringy as it gets.

    It’s worse than that. It’s one of the few places that invites fascist participation, shouts down those that object to that participation, and purposefully induces normal people into interacting with fascists and their ideas. We should not allow it here.

    All under the pretense that "everyone is welcome". I'm sure it's just a coincidence that every meme that makes it to the front page is far-right and that 75% of the people flared "left" hold views like "I'm left wing but I think leftists take things too far" and other fascist apologism.

    I enjoy the format. Even with obvious bias in memes, they make fun of everyone

    By and large they make fun of the left, liberal leaning types.

    It's super-interesting that hexbear does the same; it's always dunking on the libs, not dunking on the Nazis, etc.

    Interesting, huh?

    I would love to agree with you. However I don't think I've seen a hexbear post in general for whatever reason. maybe that's for the best considering the few posts I have seen about degenerating from them

    But yes, I can at least agree with you about political compass memes. I stumbled on that subreddit earlier this year while I was still on Reddit.

    I was like, oh cool, a place to make fun of everyone on the political spectrum. But the posts only ever seemed to really make fun of anyone on the left. Comments were much worse than the posts, in general

    I was on it when it was relatively new to trending. It seemed a bit more even, but like any community that allows Nazis to say Nazi shit, everyone that wasn't a Nazi got sick of it and left, and now it's Nazis larping and trying to convert clueless people that walk in.
