Should political extremism, far-left or far-right, be an allowed part of Lemmy's Fediverse? - eviltoast

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.

    Politically speaking, the lemmy/fediverse would make a great PolySci thesus. There is no practical universal governance other than sharing the ActivityPub protocol. It is an interesting experiment in how humans behave. Each instance is like a country.
