  4chan is a largely fascist website but that doesn’t mean every single screenshot is fascist or does something to promote it

    It normalizes their behavior instead of shunning it. Remember: If there’s one Nazi at the bar who hasn’t been kicked out, you’re at a Nazi bar.

      There is a nazi at the bar (4chan) but also there’s a gay couple at the bar (the OOP). the gay couple leaves that bar and goes to another bar (Lemmy). is the second bar and its bargoers now also Nazis?

      Doesn’t Lemmy have a ton of tankies on some instances?

      If it’s fine because it’s a different instance, doesn’t that apply to different 4chan boards?

        This was the reply that really made me think twice about my position.

  Didn’t realize you had to be a nazi in order to post on 4chan.

    If you are unaware of 4chan being a tool to push people towards fascism, you seriously need to do some more reading and learning. It is an explicit goal of the platform. Here is a random example of an article you can read. Wikipedia is also full of good information.

      Don’t people also have pro-nazi spaces on Lemmy?

      “Revealing the discordian 4chan sub-groups actively fighting FOR oppression of basic human rights the the differently-abled.”

      Ah, so its no longer the entire site, but a sub-group of users.

      Listen, the site itself is neutral, anyone is free to post anything they want. The only actual rule is to not post anything illegal.

        Technically true yeah. But I frequented 4chan in the old days. It is not the same website by a long shot. Yes, it has always sucked, but now it’s even worse somehow.

        Like most other social media, I’d bet good money that there are astroturfing campaigns running trying to radicalize the those who browse there, especially since it’s easier to introduce divisive messaging as edgy humor.

        Probably a higher success rate than most other social media considering the shit you see on /pol/ and likelihood of harboring incels and other ideologically susceptible users.
