Completely stupid and fantastic.

… oh my god, I hadn’t seen the followups.

“What are you, the coping mechanism police?”

What, like the spikes on the outline line up, and you can peel them top to bottom?

Every effort to unfuck English spelling becomes another set of exceptions.

English is a creole gone feral.

Some poor sheep farmers who thought the Thames was a lovely bit of river spent one thousand years getting rolled by the Picts, the Romans, the Angles, the Normans, the Saxons, the Franks, the Danes… and half of those were just the French wearing different hats. All of these conquerors, heirs, and particularly rowdy tourists left a significant linguistic impact on this mongrel archipelago of mayonnaise-filled peasants.

The Holocaust is when I can’t use a website. >:(

How aggressively does someone have to announce they’re a right-wing crank, before you’ll believe them? My guy - if a site tolerates posting reactionary shit “to trigger others,” that’s the line you want. That’s what you think is beyond the pale. That’s moderation failure that was entirely predictable by just looking at the site.

We do not need abundant examples of what this niche shitpost factory is about, when it is named shitpost dot factory. Their fucking brand is in the fucking name and I’m yelling this at my screen as I’m typing this because dealing with denialist horseshit is only marginally less tolerable than dealing with denialist horseshit apologism.

Christ.

There was a point where the actual Nazis were just a political party. Where the local consensus on the label, Nazi, was that it was pricks in bad outfits loosely associated with violent agitation. Would you have told me, a century ago, that Der Sturmer should be judged on its merits, until we have sufficient evidence they’re not merely biased? I mean surely everyone’s biased. Perhaps we should write in to Herr Streicher with corrections, and see if staff writers walk back their vitriolic rhetoric. We should eat the whole turd to be sure it’s not a crab cake.

Is what a good reason to do a instance wide defederation of the instance?

Look me in the eyes:

Yes.

Don’t platform Nazis.

Broken stair.

Milo Manara, I assume.

We must always question whether woman are people. What if the answer’s different, this time?

We must always debate which race is best race. We must always entertain the idea trans people cause hurricanes. We must always seriously consider and politely discuss the blood libel.

If you know that kind of open-ended wank wasn’t what I was talking about, why did you fucking say it?

We’re not talking about academic criticism of open-ended questions with troubling loose ends. We are discussing bigots. This is a forum of bigots, by bigots, for bigots. The questions they ask are not worth your time or mine, even when they are sincere.

If you’d still split hairs about ‘real conservatives’ like they’re not marginal fair-weather whiners when the horrifying shit they proudly voted for harms them - this site is not for them. This site is for the rest of the assholes, the diehards, the reactionary extreme. Hence the fucking name.

None of it matters.

Conservatives just make shit up to justify whatever they want next.

The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer. Some asshole going ‘Ah-HA!’ does not matter, if they’ll do that in response to aaanythiiing. Preventing their nonsense from spreading is the correct answer. You have to protect people from abuse that works.

Abuse that works forty percent of the time, apparently. Thank god a mere plurality is insufficient to ever cause problems.

TD was a successful propaganda megaphone that only got shut down after it shit up millions of people’s feeds for most of a decade. It successfully radicalized god knows how many politically interested young minds. The right answer was to ban that shit, immediately. And when they try mewling about how calling reactionary bigots Nazis makes you the Nazi, ban them again.

Some questions have these things called “answers.” We do not need to endlessly discuss them, with assholes, on sites by and for their specific brand of reality-denying assholes. Sometimes “both sides” is the right side and the wrong side - and contrarian chin-stroking is poorly distinguished from frothing wackadoodle denialism.

This god damn website is named heil.hitler and you wanna take a wait-and-see approach to whether they’ll cause problems. Frothing wackadoodle denialism is their brand. We don’t need to federate with flat.earth, or thejews.did.it, or hexbear. You are allowed to recognize when people openly cause problems on purpose, and not sit around waiting for problems to happen, like it’s a fucking surprise.

They don’t represent the average conservative

The fattest turd in this punchbowl.

Two in five people are convinced of dangerous horseshit, and the best you’ve got it verbosely muttering ‘but it’s not the majority.’

It doesn’t fucking have to be!

A functional court system finding violations of immigration law is not the same thing as green card holders from South America getting snatched off the court steps and shipped to Africa.

If conservatives cared about immigration law, they’d be doing both things, and the number would be higher. But where mere liberals do enforce these laws you may disagree with, conservatives have unmarked vans full of untrained goons slapping paperwork out of brown people’s hands to put them in cages in a Florida swamp. The difference is not numeric.

FORTY PERCENT APPROVE?!

That’s your standard for the success of polite naysaying - a slight dip from the majority buying the world’s worst liar’s reheated horseshit, after he got elected?

And your first example is COVID, a plague which surely killed one hundred thousand more Americans because of right-wing disinformation. Masking alone! Fucking-- enough people bought the lies about the 2020 election that THERE WAS A FAILED COUP, and all the people who participated have been pardoned, because that shit worked.

Thank god we merely tutted and corrected long after people got tricked, instead of actively preventing people from getting tricked in the first place.

The name of the fucking site is a fascist slogan.

strategically reducing or removing misinformation

Like excluding servers that are unambiguously for shrill propaganda.

The whole fucking place explicitly exists to promote misinformation - they are fascists. Stop sanewashing it by pretending there’s piecemeal issues to escalate and check up on, when every single post is immediately obvious as dangerous nonsense.

Please stop saying this.

There’s jobs you can do on a day of training, and there’s jobs that need six years of higher education to not kill people.
