    it’s valid in its intent, having my run in with the people you’re describing sucked. I just saw karma checks taken to some pretty ugly places on reddit before I ghosted out of there. In my encounters with genocide deniers here, the problematic aspect I saw was a mod team interfering with the comments and deleting responses. r/conservative on reddit does the same thing to keep their userbase trimmed down to only the most vocal and loyal christofascists.

    I kind of want to be on a website where people with admin priveledges are being held at least a little more accountable than regular users. but that’s probably just my damage talking. I can pretty assuredly say that actually real botting on fediverse is pretty inadequate since every user has to be manually approved and write a cover letter for many instances. the hoards of genocide deniers you see are probably actual living CCP citizens engaging in a documented cultural passtime
