There was a post saying it’s too bad they missed, and I said “That’s not the way,” and got a mess of downvotes. People were arguing that me saying we shouldn’t advocate for political assassination means that I’m enabling fascism. I don’t even know what to say to that.
I agree. Does Lemmy have any such rule, or is that instance specific? I’ve seen a lot of questionable comments on the political communities here.

Lol isn’t a step of fascism usually assassinating political opponents?
Why yes, yes it is
Yeah, I’ve seen comments about that as well. Thanks for calling them out - it is really important.
