There’s an example for you, two comments down someone accused him of being a fascist for this conversation with absolutely no evidence to show he supports ethnic cleansing but plenty to show he simply disagrees with the person calling him a fascist (on what constitutes a fascist, if nothing else.)
Fair enough, I can’t either from my app, but if that’s the case it would have been worth mentioning. As it stands it appears he’s simply assumed to be a fascist for the crime of questioning whether a third person labeling a fourth person as fascist has a basis for their accusation. And until I see a screenshot of sunzu2 saying he does support ethnic cleansing, all I can do is work with what evidence I’ve seen.
Lol well tbf that was exactly Sunzu2’s original point, me questioning Steve on why he calls Bob a fascist isn’t a tenet of fascism, which is why when Steve asserts that since I didn’t automatically believe him I must too be a fascist working with Bob, it devalues the word. Now I’m wondering if Steve first accused Bob because Steve had also previously accused Jane of being a fascist and Bob did the same thing I just did in questioning Steve’s intel, and Steve is assuredly about to tell Paul that I’m a fascist as well since Steve’s really just an ill-informed gossip like Old Mother Rose in the first church pew.
Now, if Bob said “I think we should kill X ethnic group,” that’d be valuable information to include in your initial accusation of Bob as evidence to support that he’s a fascist, if I then upon receiving that evidence say “well that’s not so bad,” then Steve could accuse me of being one too, but simply asking for that evidence a fascist does not make.
On Lemmy, using a word or tone somebody doesn’t like is enough
I’m sorry you’ve been exposed to that. I oddly haven’t. Maybe it’s the words I’m picking. Maybe it’s the thoughts behind those words.
I guess without actual examples we’ll never know.

I don’t know how to check the mod log. Maybe that guy did? No idea

Hah! Possibly. It’s very fascist to not label others fascist for no reason. I think that’s the fifteenth tenet of fascism.

i don’t really care esp since modlog is public unlike reddit and fedi is federated

Is the idiot in the room with you now?
