I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    I’m sorry but what is considered to be “Nazi” in this platform? I’ve seen even socialists being called Nazis

      I do not speak for this platform, but what I mean with Nazis here, are people who support the exclusion, inhumane treatment or exploitation of arbitrary groups of people, generally for the Nazi’s (perceived) benefit and in spite of basic morals.

        And what would exclusion, inhumane treatment and exploitation mean? It’s key to clearly define the concepts before applying the label to someone, as if they stay undefined everyone can have the label applied

          Right, so another policy from the early days of Lemmy that I thought was quite vital: No endless discussions on what precisely constitutes Nazi behaviour.

          It’s truly not hard to not be a Nazi. And if someone is even roughly in the ballpark of being a Nazi, the community as a whole just doesn’t care to have that person’s input here.

          Which is a roundabout way of saying that I do not think, it’s relevant to clearly define these terms.

              If you’re worried people will think you’re a Nazi, maybe it’s not the other people you should be worried about.

                What if you just have no idea of what my views are and I hate Nazis probably as much if not more as you do?

                  Then I’m happy to be wrong (fewer Nazi sympathizers is always better), and you have nothing to worry about. But that you consider a potentially over-broad definition of Nazism a major problem in this political climate suggests that even if you are antifascist, your priorities are skewed.

                    See? Now I get called a fascist just because I’m scared of how commonly that buzzword is used

      I’ve never had a productive conversation that started with “please define what counts as a Nazi for me”.

        No argument there. But given that they mostly popup in the context of “I think all nazis…”-circlejerks, that’s kinda to be expected.
