Mr. Harris is quick to point out that Golden Valley may not be the perfect model for the rest of the country. β€œThis is a wealthy community with very little crime,” he said. β€œWe can afford to go through this change. I realize that may not be the case in other places.”

tl;dr: Rich town with low crime rate does wacky changes, doesn't really mean much, but still interesting

Very extreme assumptions about me. I'm disabled and would be killed by any far-right government, if one were in power. I was just trying to ask a question: at what point does free speech end and dangerous ideas begin? I wasn't trying to say "hey, that's not fair!!! let racist timmy here if we're gonna have Lemmygrad :((", I was simply asking why any form of extremism is tolerated(and why there's some big deal about exploding heads, which I've just recently learned about, and far less talk about Lemmygrad). I personally don't feel either should be allowed on Lemmy, and that any instances pertaining to extremist ideology should be defederated. Also, I apologize for asking this question on Beehaw, of all Lemmy instances, when none of my arguments pertain to here; I feel my post would've been far better had I directly mentioned Lemmy.world/made this post on Lemmy.world. (which is still federated with Lemmygrad, if I am understanding things correctly)

 

I'm simply asking this question because of Lemmygrad.ml existing, and that there isn't a far-right equivalent of it yet. If Lemmygrad has any standing for its right to exist under free speech, where is the line drawn for other extremist political ideologies? If Holodomor skepticism is allowed, then what stops Holocaust skepticism? (as it is generally accepted the Holodomor was man-made). I'm simply wondering what gives far-left politics a right to promote such extremist views in the Fediverse, when their far-right counterparts would be Defederated in minutes.

this is just the status quo. businesses, especially ones operated online, can really reject you for whatever reason they want. you can go full paranoia, and feed into political extremism, or just see this is as what it is; America being at crossroads for what "freedom" really means. Is freedom the ability to shop wherever, or the freedom for business owners to reject whomever they want, no matter the petty-ness of it?
