What are the first signs of a hostile fascist take over a fediverse instance? (piefed.ca)

It would probably follow the Reddit model that began in 2018. Maybe Lemmy.today is the first example of this.

  1. Admins ask members left of liberalism to keep the conversation in the centre.
  2. Rules are no longer enforced and are watered down.
  3. Frivolous bans.
  4. Removal of moderators.
  5. Defederation from other instances.
  6. Ads introduced in the sidebar and posts.

Hexbear likes to call themselves socialist and communist, but they come across strongly as just another group of fascists.

they are "we are not like these "other tankies""

Yeah, they pretty much only exist to break the left’s solidarity.

I always assumed they were far right trolls cosplaying as (their biased image of) leftists for shits and giggles...

[-] echo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

That's a good description of how they come across...

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
