Lemmy.world still discussing if they want to defederate from an instance taken over by exploding-heads.
An instance that includes such gems as
CW Transphobia, Homophobia
Strange pattern emerging from lemmy.world with an admin advertising their business in the adhd community, allowing virulently Islamophobic atheistmemes community and now repeating the exploding-heads (we have to patiently discuss blocking the instance) course of action instead of a preemptive defederation, it is their last resort though.
The post on lemmy.world discussing it as well: https://lemmy.world/post/2680147

The right wingers are people they can feel smugly superior to. A nazi can be dismissed out of hand and you don’t really have to argue the point. You can just coast on not being obviously terrible.
A left winger will be a lot harder to dismiss out of hand. Same reason people get irrationally angry at vegans, climate change protestors and anti-discrimination activists. And you have to do ridiculous mental gymnastics to justify not improving things and that everything is fine actually.
Self crit is the worst nightmare of a Liberal.
