gotta love "allies" that save their homophobia/transphobia for people they disagree with.
There's a contingent of power users/mods/admins that range from neoliberals to social Democrats/reformists, and view anyone more radical than the Democratic party/Bernie as red fash.
That does include anarchists if you have any heterodox opinions about Ukraine or refuse to engage in their red scare propaganda. they have been doing a smear campaign about the "tankie troika" of Lemmy servers for a while now.
They even have a snark comm for exactly that.
I use percolators, I have been outed as a leftcom
they're really good for when you want to make a ton of coffee
I hope every centrist extremist gets the Havana syndrome that they deserve

red scares have been a global phenomena, not one isolated to the US. Pointless red baiting in response to what Trump being a fascist is about what I've come to expect from Bernie, the guy who can't call it a genocide.

I've done quite a lot of in-person anarchist organizing over the years. The people who are always the loudest about being sectarian are often the ones who end up showing up the least in the end.
