Whatever the authors leanings are, they make a good point. Lemmy has followed Karl Popper's maxim "Tolerant societies must be intolerant of intolerance." It's just that simple.

I mean moderation doesn't neccesarily support that. You can be tolerant but remove stuff that is far in the fringes. Lemmy has quite a mix. World hates left wing, ml is left wing. Ee is pretty open.

Being intolerant does not necessarily mean complete exclusion. Like one-way federation is still allowed right? So if some folks wanna comment they can still get the same content, the folks who don't won't. I think that's a decent middle ground for the meantime.

If anything it makes their point even stronger if their ideology is screaming at them not to put communists above fascists in any circumstance.

I really have no idea where you got such an impression

Years of personal experience. Yes, I'm doing the intellectual equivalent of "Source: I made it up" deal with it.
