      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 mean many communities remove anti-nazi comments.

                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.

                    Do you think nazis should be killed? Certainly no one is fighting their global rise to power.
