    Not all parts of twitter is chock full of Nazis. The parts I follow probably won’t ever move over to Mastodon, so I’m stuck with Twitter. The good thing is that part barely has any Nazis.

    Good job on brushing everyone on Twitter with the same broad stroke, though. Really shows how progressive you can be.

        It’s a website that purposely and specifically endorses Nazis. Yes you are tainted by association.

        And this is a site run by developers that purposely and specifically endorses Tankies, yet it’s still stupid to call everyone on this site a Tankie.

        That’s what I think of anyone who hangs out with Nazis. Why you doing that? Why you hanging out with Nazis?

        Because we don’t, we kick them out of the circle, that’s why there’s few of them amongst those I follow. The fact that you can’t comprehend such a simple concept is the problem.

          And this is a site run by developers that purposely and specifically endorses Tankies, yet it’s still stupid to call everyone on this site a Tankie.

          The software is partially written by Tankies, but most instances aren’t run by Tankies. Since it is free & open source software under the AGPLv3, anyone can freely use it. Lemmy also uses ActivityPub, an open standard, and is fully compatible with other Fediverse software like Kbin/Mbin and Piefed. Using lemmy.ml or other instances means that you’re associated with Tankies, but using Lemmy the FOSS software doesn’t. Since Twitter is proprietary, the only option is using twitter.com which is run by a Nazi and actively supports Nazis.

            The main dev is a Tankie, so not just partially written. And you’re missing the point. Even on lemmy.ml there are plenty of non-Tankies. There are reasons for people to be there other than to support the Tankie devs. In the same vein, there are plenty of reason for people to be on Twitter other than to support the Nazis.

            Being this pedantic in an effort to defend broad brushing groups of people together when they don’t have that much in common is, frankly, pathetic.

                No, I meant that amongst the community that I follow, there are few Nazis. At the end of the day, you cannot be sure that there are 0 Nazis in any community that you follow, that’s just unrealistic.

                You’re just being pedantic and making so much mental gymnastics in order to call me a Nazi. That shows just how fucked up your mindset is. You’re pretty much trying to demonize a group of people using broken logic to justify your hate. Why are you trying to emulate the Nazi thought process?

                    So you mean you can demonize Nazis without even knowing what tactics they employ? That means you’re just blindly accusing people of being Nazis, like I thought.

                    So why does your opinion even matter in this case when you clearly admitted to not knowing how to recognize Nazis and their supporters? What a useless conversation this turned out to be.

                    FYI, Nazis are well known for demonizing a group of people without being able to logically explain their hatred, just like what you’re doing now. For someone who claims to hate Nazis, you sure act in a similar vein. Now that you’re more educated, I hope you can learn to distance yourself from that kind of thought process.

      What was that saying about letting a few nazis into your bar as long as they stay on the side and don’t cause trouble?

        We don’t let them into our bar, that’s why the part has so few Nazis. The Nazis are running rampant in other parts of the site, but not on the part that I frequent, from my observation at least. That’s why it’s stupid to group everyone using Twitter as Nazi adjacent.

          Maybe you’re just not identifying them as Nazis? What part do you hang out on where there aren’t insane propagandists and bots?

            Does a Nazi infested group calls out whenever people is being racist or openly makes fun of Elon Musk?

            I’m sure you can always just argue that they are being Nazis secretly or something, but to call out a group of people to be suspicious of being a Nazi, I would prefer if you have more proof than just conjecture.
