Tbh it really feels like the main mission of Mastodon (just like any other FOSS social platform) is aggressive leftism promotion.
When the Overton Window is as far to the right as it currently is, any platform that doesn’t want to be in bed with the far-right will seem that way.
Call me when actual Communism is a significant player, rather than just people talking about radical ideas such as human rights or empathy.
What do you mean by leftist here? Like, can you split it up into some actual values or aims, instead of just a high-level label?
Well I’d say in that case it was a pretty high-level label. Obviously not all left leaning views are the same but many of them are pretty similar in terms of online censorship policy.
I’m not trying to prove you wrong or something, I’m just trying to figure out what you mean… What aspects of “leftism” are you seeing pushed by mastodon?
Censorship, double standards and lies.
Moderation of hate speech is censorship if the definition of “hate speech” is wrong (and in their case it is).
Double standards on the above mentioned term and some other ones.
Lies about the absence of double standards and wrong definitions.
TL;DR leftism is a corrupted piece of just technically changed rightism filled with duplicity.
How is the definition wrong?
(My understanding is that it varies a bit between servers)
