Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. (kbin.social)

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise.

Louder for those in the back. It seems to me that far too often I see people using this paradox as an excuse to turn off rational thinking the moment they encounter disagreeable/socially unacceptable/bad/wrong opinions, so they can argue that expressing those opinions should be forbidden.

Yes there are truly vile, intolerable opinions out there that do not deserve a platform. No, there are not nearly as many as people believe.
