    The glory of instances. If enough people dont like it, they can just block it!

    It's a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it's easy to block out communities with racist, homophobic, and xenophobic views. On the other hand, it allows communities like that to become echo chambers and freely further their abhorrent ideals completely unchecked.

    I don't think the ban hammer is the most effective method of shutting down nazi shit, but it's a hell of a lot better than shutting it out of sight and trying to forget about it.

    User calls for far-right content to be removed whilst using far-right terminology. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.

    It's bizarre to see isn't it? Trying to insult people by accusing them or being... you.

    But they can't see it. The entire depth of thought seems to be "Nazis are bad and I am good therefore I can't be a Nazi".

    It doesn't matter that their list of undesirables is virtually identical, or that their violent solutions are virtually identical, or that the guy standing next to them has a SS tattoo.

    They don't want to be a Nazi, so as far as they're concerned, they're not.
