This is great! It reminds me of this video which in my opinion everyone should watch who tries to run a community (and everybody else should watch it as well).
The Alt-Right Playbook: How to Radicalize a Normie
Just as a shady bar can be a magnet to not so nice people, a mental health online community for specifically men on a platform like Lemmy (that probably already has a not so diverse user base) is basically a honey pot for people who want to spread certain ideologies.
The video gets reported endlessly on YouTube btw, that’s why it is “age restricted”. :( While it talks about hatred it doesn’t endorse hatred. But for some reason this gets a video age restricted on YouTube while videos which are actively hateful do not get restricted…

The thing is, you're going to need actual leftists with a lot of experience in right-wing narratives to do that... liberals can't. They only recognize right-wing narratives when it's far, far too late - if they recognize them at all. That's what the Bartender's Rule demonstrates - you can't allow right-wing ideologies to hide behind "respectibility politcs." If you do, the right-wingers have already won.
