"But, but, you see, once authoritarianism starts creeping in, and it makes some inroads, which it's definitely making right now man."

I haven’t heard that, do you have a source? My understanding is that she particularly went after violent crimes while showing leniency and seeking alternatives to incarceration towards non-violent offenses during her time as a prosecutor.

Lemmy has been pretty insane lately - like I definitely feel like i'm in the liberal equivalent of /r/TheDonald or /r/conservative. Just absolutely asinine takes, completely out of context, with no nuance whatsoever. The comments are even worse, with insane virtue signaling and justification for abhorrent behavior.

This isn't why we wanted to move off the big platforms, we weren't looking for an even more toxic mechanism to spread misinformation and shit opinions.

For the record I'm a liberal, but what is thriving here at Lemmy is something rotten and is bad for the community.
