minus-square@BearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•1 year agoBut the comment was about the platform, not the instance. Though it’s good that you point this out about lemmy.world. I do take issue with the label “extremists”. That’s a value judgement, which is a problematic thing. Not allowing anything illegal, or clarifying specifically what isn’t allowed, is different than such a label. Everyone’s definition of extremist is different. I don’t even use the label because it’s practically meaningless.
