They already have a platform It's called 4chan

Is there a running list of bigot instances that I can block?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, block entire instances en masse without the hassle of actually making the decision yourself, that would be nice

I run my own instance so that i can take a little control over the drivel that scrolls past my eyes. Far right ideologies don't deserve a platform or an audience.

Idk, gonna be a very hot take, but I like my beliefs challenged and believe that everyone deserves a voice

Nazis had a voice once, and folks listened to them. And we ended up with the Holocaust.

Might be controversial but I don't believe that people who want to murder minorities deserve a voice. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable bar to set lol.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but did they actually say they want to murder minorities?? I'm yet to see that

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Fascism isn’t an ideology that gets defeated in the marketplace of ideas. It’s core belief is enabling a small minority to violently destroy other lives. It’s not worth your consideration.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Keep the Nazis out. with flames and force is necessary. Both online & in real life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Left wingers and calling everyone that slightly disagrees with them "literally hitler" name a better duo.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Allowing actual Nazis to have a platform in a public space is Nazism.

You’re just salty because you don’t like when people call you out on it. Just go join their instance and be among your peers and leave everyone else alone.

As long as I found the Nazi disturbing, the "denialism" in Tianmen square massacre or gulag or Ussr stalin purge or Uyghurs genocide from the far-left ideology is as much disturbing as the same from the far-right one. Just because this instance seems leftish and anti-Nazi, it doesn't leverage itself to a better position.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah extreme ideologies are bad, but instead of talking left vs right, which is pointless as you are trying to comp genocidal maniacs against eachother. They are all totalitarian evil, we put extra labels on so we can pick sides.

how about we consider why groups want control over your life. The left cares for society and group rights, the right cares for individual rights. I could argue the value of both, but we are overpopulated and the desires of the individual shouldn't be valued greater than that of a society, our environment, quality of life, right to health and security from violence and economic greed. Im not saying the left is good at what they do but at least they try to manage the mess instead of arrogantly assuming market forces, churches or the metaphysical can or will solve peoples unnecessary suffering.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sorry just because you (or "we") would love to put labels to pick sides, it doesn't mean I belong to your described "labels" or "sides" because I treat far left and far right are the same. Maybe some political compasses can help. I don't take sides. I agreed with the problems you think. Maybe you can try to stop putting labels (or picking sides) so that it might help to provide for some perspective angles. Wish you the best

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Neither of those are denied by anyone here, shoo

The tankies have been here for a while so it's only a matter of time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Tankies aren't nearly as harmful as Nazis, they don't make communities unsafe. You can disagree with a tankie and that's the end of it. With Nazis, it's completely different.

Some real controversial hot take right here

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm out of the loop and still new to Lemmy, what happened?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Huge drama surrounding instances that have a major far-right presence and certain instances cutting connections (defederating), while others aren't (staying federated).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I like how someone put it in another thread. From the "defederaters," The argument most seen is: "if there's a nazi at the table and you say nothing, it's a table full of nazis." The most common counter-argument is "it's actually like a stadium full of people with some nazi's in the corner jerking themselves off." From the "federators," the most common argument is "defederation defeats decentralization," and the most common counter to this is simply: "fuck off nazi!"

I find the whole situation quite extraordinary to see unfold and be a part of.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What stadiums have these people been to where being a Nazi is okay? Stadium staff curate very specific atmospheres, and being a Nazi is an automatic disqualifier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excellent example of why giant instances are bad ideas. Nazis love forcing you into a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" type choice because it means they can continue their hateful, destructive, genocidal behaviors without consequences. They're usually not stupid, they know what they're doing is wrong, they just want to keep getting away with it. So they'll go nuclear on anyone and everyone in order to maintain their comfy corner of hate.

Any moderator (or stadium owner) who doesn't give Nazis jerking off in a corner a lifetime ban is negligent, as you said.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't the instances defederating from exploding heads actually the ones maintaining their comfy corners though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but instead of a comfy corner of hate, it's a comfy corner without nazis

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Do you actually have solid grounds to call all the users of an instance nazis? That's not something to throw around lightly

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

the comments, man. you people are a bunch of maoists

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

some of you need to stop calling everything you don't like a nazi

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty bold comment considering many of the people are actual swastika-waving Nazis. Stop defending them.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

i don't think any of you have so much as peeked over there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

what a weird thing to say

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

as a jewish person.. all i have to say is what the fuc

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's not really nazis, at least not many. People on the internet view right leaning views as literal nazis these days.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Fuck fascism mkay

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just let them have their of naziverse. I don't want to see it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m a bit out of loop, are there more info to share about?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a lemmy server where a lot of alt-right and more extreme views have sub-lemmys. It got defederated by Lemmy.World and others and now they're upset that most people on other servers don't get to see their hate-speech.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Maybe better not say it, so we don’t give them attention

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

activitypub is bad and dumb

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

A lot of people seem to just call people they've barely interacted with a nazi wtf
