I agree, in general I believe that any system is vulnerable to the human element and not some kind of horseshoe theory. But in this case I am specifically using ML to refer to users of lemmy.ml and how they're not as extreme as Hexbear users, a number of whom basically could have turned into MAGA followers if they hadn't gotten into socialism first.
