Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Zagorath@aussie.zone⁩ to ⁨meta@aussie.zone⁩

A few days ago I came across a comment in one of this Instance’s Communities made by a user of this Instance, which very directly parroted Nazi talking points. Not in a way that was satirising Nazis, but which was endorsing their type of supremacist worldview.

Other comments in that thread noted that the user in question has a history of unironically endorsing a foreign genocidal regime and its actions.

I tried reporting the comment in question, but as of today the comment still stands and the user who made the comment has been as active as ever.

Is this Instance ok with Nazis?

Is there a particular reason why you’re dancing around what they actually wrote, or naming the “foreign genocidal regime”?

FWIW I’m not okay with Nazis and their Nazi bullshit.

I don’t see the point in beating around the bush.

A glance at the homepage tells us that Nazism would break the first 3 instance rules, there’s no reason to expect it to be allowed. The difficulty comes when bigoted rhetoric is subtle enough to go unrecognised, or has been normalised. So it would help to know which comment is repeating which talking points.

  The “Nazi talking points” that aren’t mentioned could be a bait, and be something as simple as anti communism or economic reforms that stimulate production through public works (e.g. the autobahn)
  
  They may not be the things the Nazis were hated for…

It applies to each comunity and instance separately. Some instances(like Lemmy.ml) not only allow this, but their admins do similar things actively. So, it writing Nazi comments is against policies of comunity and/or instance, this user most likely will be punished. Otherwise, you may be punished for interfering with Nazi doing its stuff in Nazi place.

  This is a user on aussie.zone on the meta community of aussie.zone talking about a user of aussie.zone.
  
  And it’s bizarre and ridiculous to claim that lemmy.ml allows Nazis.

    That’s the point. I didn’t say that. I haven’t specified the opposite. Lemmy.ml welcomes pro-russian propagandists and nationalists. So you comment it irrelevant from this point of view.
