Transitive defederation -- defederating from instances that federate with Threads as well as defederating from Threads -- isn't likely to be an all-or-nothing thing in the free fediverses. Tradeoffs are different for different people and instances. This is one of the strengths of the fediverse, so however much transitive defederation there winds up being, I see it as overall as a positive thing -- although also messy and complicated.

The recommendation here is for instances to consider #TransitiveDefederation: discuss, and decide what to do. I've also got some thoughts on how to have the discussion -- and the strategic aspects.

Yes, there's fascist ideas somewhere on Lemmy. And on Mastodon. Ideas can be fascist. Unless you want to get into a very complex philosophical debate I think that's pretty established.

You do realise protecting people from the idea of fascism means people not knowing about the holocaust or how Mussolini gained power right?

history and fascism sold as good idea is different thing

Thats shifting the goalposts, I don't see anyone advocating for fascism here, just for saying people shouldnt be shielded from the idea of it
