Yeah, I wasn’t the clearest here. I thought they shouldn’t be allowed on there at all, but I’m rethinking it now.

I see what you’re saying and you make a good point honestly.

Yeah, I can see that perspective too, but at the same time it’s Nazi propaganda they’re posting. There aren’t really any good options.

Realization that toxic douchebags who don’t see but one perspective aren’t worth arguing with moment.

If you actually read the thread like I did you might get it. But yeah I’m weirdly macho and also wrong or something

It’s not hard to understand that people want Nazi ideology to be rejected.

Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. What about my statement means that them being there before was okay? I assume most people upset about it didn’t have a fucking clue they were there before. Not that it matters since it’s clear from your tone you’re a troll.

Should they all be automatically blocked from socials?

For companies that have morals or a backbone, abso fucking lutely

Nah tolerating intolerance has been working out well so far. I mean “free speech” is worth literally any price, and further, we should never pressure private companies to align with common morality. That’s just censorship!!

HUGE /s, and thank you for an actually sane take ITT.

What difference would it make in the social media.

Apparently you slept through a fascist dictator rising to power by manipulating desperate people, specifically on social media.

Everyone responding here and confused why this matters seem not get the point. This post is just a warning that the types of people most of us don’t want to associate with are now on that platform. The problem is not that they are verified, it’s that they exist there at all.

Edit: some reasonable arguments have been made here for allowing these Nazis on Blue sky, which I originally thought was a bad idea, but maybe disallowing them won’t actually solve anything and may exacerbate things. I don’t know. I’ll think about it some more.

So?

Any place Nazis are allowed is not a place I want to be. At least on any Lemmy server I’d not block, Nazis get banned

stop calling it “my sequel”

Why?

Piefed.social was too, on my end

Yep, that sounds like the poster child for this phenomenon.

The users who are being talked about here probably don’t get that exposing your machine to the Internet carries risk. That’s the point.

Every response I read here seems to get it. Yeah, you shouldn’t do risky things without understanding them first. By all means play around with self hosting without knowing anything at first, but do not expose your machine to the Internet without fully understanding the implications and do not complain that self hosting is hard. If you think it is, you just need a bit more education. It’s already incredibly easy these days.

So lost.

… You just literally said hosting shouldn’t exist. You are using the Internet right now.

Also pretty weird to keep phrasing this as a command, discounting an entire class of use cases to be invalid because bad actors exist?
