Turns out there are plenty of things more worthy of fighting for than enabling fascists and terrorists to lure in vulnerable people and harass marginalized people

    Most people are ok banning Nazis. It’s when you start banning Christian soccer moms, Republicans, slightly right of center you are full of shit.

    If someone says

    I am Nazi, heil Hitler. Here is a swastika it is my symbol.

    Yes ban them.

    If someone says

    Life begins at conception. Marriage should be between a biological man and biological woman. Christ is king.

    And you ban them while calling them Nazis you are kinda a ass hole. And you make the word Nazi mean less every time

      I think that depends on whether or not that person actually believes that. If it’s just low quality edgelord shitpost spamming the community yeah get rid of it, but if this person is actually willing to have a good faith discussion on their ideals I think the conversation being had for better or worse seems preferable to just outright banning/silencing.
