People telling you that you seeing an afterlife and God was a hallucination isn't fascism.

That's you expressing an idea and them also freely expressing an idea.

Members of a homogenous group disagreeing with you is not fascism.

Nor is members of a heterogeneous group disagreeing with a person.

You have freedom of speech in that you can say whatever you like. That doesn't mean other people have to like it.

Fascism is when the government comes in and punishes you for what you said, it has nothing to do if private people or companies don't want you saying you're stuff on their platform.

An example of this would be government book bans, they're almost always a premonition of fascism because the government is saying that some things should not be said.

People disagreeing with you and downloading you is their freedom of expression and speech. That's the fun thing about freedom, if you have it then so do other people.

Are there even enough people here to really "dogpile" a person like on Reddit?

What opinions are you even getting "dogpiled" for?

Fascism doesn't mean a bunch of people telling you you're wrong

Yes this place really has the fit in or fuck off vibe so much more so then Reddit.

Smaller communities i guess

Although i wouldn't call it fascism. Theres more nuance to life the fascism and communism or left and right
