@sillystring @BryanLunduke @mcscx Factually, I did not claim that Bryan "said something wrong". What I did was *exclaim* "what the" at the framing of it.
@mcscx @BryanLunduke @sillystring Antifa is worth supporting - good on them, and good on Mozilla. I applaud their decision.
@Gargron @BryanLunduke@mastodon.rocks @sillystring@mastodon.social @gabriele
because it's pointless to develope free software if society can't be free.
#Fascism is based on opression. Anti-fascism is about to counter this opression.
I mean what are you doing here in #mastodon if you're not in favour of free software and free society?

ok plott.
There are different historics and social scientists claiming to use the word #fascism in a different way.
Some say, that it only describes a specific regime during a specific time period. Others say fascism describes an ideology.
The question I've asked is still open.
What are the characteristics of #fascism?
@dogjaw @sillystring@mastodon.social @codeawayhaley @gabriele
what's totaly wrong about?
@dogjaw @sillystring@mastodon.social @codeawayhaley @gabriele
the meaning of words is not just exclusivly defined by those 'invented', but it's a cultural process.
That's also because different systems have different effect on us.
If you ask a jew about fascism in italy it will have a very different meaning then what it has for a fascist.
But that doesn't make one of the meaning unvalid by itself.

I long for the days when being antifascist went without saying
@gabriele @sillystring @BryanLunduke @Gargron @paulfree14
Like wtf has happened to a world where so many people look back on fascism and are like "that, that's what this world is missing, that's the answer"
@gabriele @sillystring @BryanLunduke @Gargron @paulfree14
*minecraft is supported by a fascist*
pseudo-leftist: this is fine
*firefox is supported by an anti-fascist*
pseudo-leftist: oh no, how will we convince the liberals and right-wingers to use our software now?
@paulfree14 @Gargron @BryanLunduke @sillystring @gabriele err, i put those sentences backwards but whatever. supports*
@paulfree14 @BryanLunduke @sillystring Can someone explain to @gabriele Mastodon and Fediverse are not "run" by @Gargron? He did create the Mastodon software, but a). #Fediverse was there long before; b). instances are run by different people with different views.
I mean, it's like saying "How will I convince people to use computers if Windows was created by Bill gates". Doesn't make any sense.
Your friends are welcome, in fact *encouraged* to use a different instance than mastodon.social.
I've read through this thread and I think it could have gone fine if all were in person, but right now it looks like a #semanticTrainWreck 🚂 💀 I get the impression that Gabriele is using the F-word in a different way to which most of the other responders do... Perhaps it's clearer to talk about more concrete points?
@gabriele cool! then how is "Gargron running Mastodon", exactly?.. :)
What mental gymnastics people have to do to make excuses for fascists I will never understand.
