    Correlation is not necessarily causation. A platform getting popular means people holding more mainstream opinions getting into the space, a lot of whom get offended when confronted with the unfamiliar. Now, when it comes to nazis, fuck them, they can get the fuck out with their hateful ideology, but I don’t see why people are so strongly opposed to communists other than buying into propaganda vilifying them.

        Except the fervent “anti-tankie” movement here is quick to label anyone to the left of a US democrat as “tankie” and is really aggressive about wanting to defederate from any instance they think leans in that direction.
