    How can you seriously assert that people are using the term too lightly when you apparently don’t even know why they’re saying it?

      What that user pointed out is, that it has “ties to a fascist company”. But in my opinion;

      • A government can have ties to a communist leader or organization, and still not be a communist government.

      • A project can have ties to an anarchist and that still won’t make the project be anarchist.

      • But if a project has ties to a fascist company the project itself turns fascist?

      Pd. I asked for more info because if ties to a company make you fascist, at least the user who commented that should have very good arguments to dictate if NixOS is fascist based on what they know.

      That’s like saying, “A community in lemmy has lots of users that come from X anarchist instance, so that Community must now be anarchist!”

        This argument doesn’t work for anarchism since anarchists don’t invade spaces like that but it absolutely works for fascism.

          Fascist don’t invade spaces, more so, the thing I’m seeing commonly are angry people calling normal people “fascists”, so then can kick them out of projects or groups because “screw them, they’re fascists! so we fuck them over until they are no longer involved or present!, because we are good and they are bad”

          Again, fuck TRUE fascists, but I’m still waiting for arguments on what makes NixOS a Fascist Project
