I'm simply asking this question because of Lemmygrad.ml existing, and that there isn't a far-right equivalent of it yet. If Lemmygrad has any standing for its right to exist under free speech, where is the line drawn for other extremist political ideologies? If Holodomor skepticism is allowed, then what stops Holocaust skepticism? (as it is generally accepted the Holodomor was man-made). I'm simply wondering what gives far-left politics a right to promote such extremist views in the Fediverse, when their far-right counterparts would be Defederated in minutes.

Let us know when the ussr is doing anything modern. You just keep moving the goalposts.

What goalpost?

I literally said intolerance exists across all political spectrum, and I will not tolerate that whether someone is “on my team” or not.

Is that such a controversial opinion?
