      Fascism itself is also a political movement. Of course the movement against it is also political, but I don’t think it’s “too” political.

        I’d have said the same thing even for proclamed fascism. I just prefer politics free stuff, It works better with everything

          There’s no way to completely get away from politics, it’s just so pervasive in modern culture. If an open-source project is going to take a political stance, this is one that’s high on the list of not-bad politics

            Well not plastering it on the front page of the instance is a good start.

                are we worried about offending the facists?

                Of course not. I’m just saying that things are just a bit too politically charged here to the point of feeling preachy. I guess it’s fine if the devs only want lemmy to be a platform for political activists, but for your everyday people just wanting to share funny memes, talk about tech, games, etc, it can be a little offputting, even if they personally agree with the stance.
