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.
The problem here is what gets defined as bigotry and who gets to define it? I was called a nazi for expressing the same opinion I’m expressing here. Do you think that might be a bit much? How long until the bubble of acceptable thoughts and opinions shrinks so much YOU get defined as a nazi?
Your argument is known as the “slippery slope fallacy”, @Kantiberl.
Edit: I’m guessing it’s a bug, but I can’t get this comment to reply to the right person.
It’s not a fallacy when it has already slipped to calling all Republicans (or even people who wish to hear their opinions) nazis and fascist. Why don’t you think it will slip further?

Oh no it’s true, not all republicans are Nazis.
Some are just sympathisers.
