Look, I have not called anyone a fascist.
My comment was using this action by codeberg to highlight what I feel is growing authoritarianism within the left.
The in-group is people who belong to the prevailing ideological hegenomy within the left and the out-group is the suppression of differing points of view outside the hegemony with methods invoking ad-hominem, coercion, appeals to emotion and intimidation.
It is plain to see in this thread.
Was my comment hyperbole? Maybe. But it highlights a valid concern in my opinion and that it ironically evokes such clearly authoritarian reactions proves it was an appropriate criticism.
I bemoan the false equivalence of all cryptocurrency based code with fraudulent activity. And I see such lazy thinking as an act of vanity at the expense of tolerance.
Community standards are not authoritarian. Good grief. You have talked yourself into a corner with that wooly thinking.
I made a sarcastic comment and then defended myself against false accusations. It's that simple.
I defined what I consider authoritarian:
Am I wrong? Is it not appropriate bring up a wider discussion about the state of the left on a post about a code respository? I dunno.
You choosing to not to exchange with what I have written and instead use emotive language "good grief" because you felt like jumping on the bandwagon with others making false accusations of fascism goes against your own principles about "watering the term down".
Yes, you are wrong. Communities limit the content they want to host. They always do. Cryptocurrency software are not people.
That communities limit the content they want to host is obvious. It's whether it should be limited and what that says about that community.
Thank you for your opinion.
Not the person your arguing with.
But what sarcastic comment? You entrrd this thread with a long winded winge.
Original comment by me in the thread:
triggered a bunch of people, not a winge just defending myself against false accusations, calling out fascistic behavior.
One commenter decided to spread misinformation and falsehoods and the rest on the jumped on the band wagon.
And I think the behavior displayed is exemplary of my concern.
