    First: huh? I’ve never come across a Nazi on this platform. The one prominent Nazi instance was defederated very quickly by many other instances, including mine.

    Second: there’s a difference between having Nazis/being slow to remove them, and proudly declaring you won’t remove them. Both are bad, but one is so much worse. Reddit, for example, is the former. Very friendly to Nazi viewpoints, but will at least hurry to remove them once it starts getting media attention.

    But most importantly: Lemmy isn’t one site. It’s a federation. You could at most talk about one instance or another, or a group of instances, which “refuse to root out Nazis”. Saying “Lemmy refuses to root out Nazis” is a sort of nonsense statement, like saying “the Internet refuses to root out Nazis”.

              I haven’t experienced it on beehaw, so I’m happy about that. But let’s test…

              All nazis should be killed on sight.

                My god, what a bad faith “test”. Why not say something like “all Nazis are garbage pieces of shit”? Probably because you’re hoping that the mods will remove your comment for the call for violence, so you can claim they’re pro-Nazi/ anti- anti-Nazi.

                    Nice try at dodging the point. Is advocating for Nazis to be killed the only manifestation of being anti-Nazi (which unless you are being sought for murder, I guarantee you’re not acting on), and any other action is pro-Nazi? If not, why choose a test that, aside from its anti-Nazi message, might run afoul of site moderation rules?
