We can be radicalized
Granted I only used sh.itjust.sucks because it was the first instance recommended to me. However, it was during the brief time when hexbear was a boogeyman to all that I was exposed to true leftist thought. It took about a month or two of reading yogthuos memes before I read theory
Anyway I thought I’d give a hopepost, I genuinely was a turbolib
I oppose all defederation except where opposing admins have blatantly been racist/homophobic or protected racists/homophobes in their teams.
Unfortunately that means SJW is always gonna be a “keep it defederated” from me. Just the acronym alone should tell you what that hellhole stands for.
BUT, right wingers are radicalisable. A lot of people that have fallen into that rightwing pipeline genuinely are just ignorant. We have a lot of people who have been rehabilitated from the far right pipelines. I will always engage with people that seek to engage in good faith.
Sometimes it takes a little while for them to open up to that kind of engagement though. Like you said, a few months of engaging with memes before finally trying to learn properly.
