    Reddit full bore banned me for saying “I should have a legal right to punch nazis” and declined my appeal.

    Reddit is unironically nazi aligned and that’s not a joke it’s terrifying.

      Reddit is aligned with the corporate overlords of the US, which are nazi aligned.

      But… but… Won’t someone think of the poor innocent nazis???

      (I got a warning for pretty much the same reason and decided not to hang around until I got a full ban.)

      I haven’t been full banned yet but have grown tired of the amazing levels of stupidity. I caught a temp ban for incivility for writing “Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”

        Not very civil of you dear…

        Tbh you can catch bans for that here but beauty of fediverse is that power tripping mods have limited ability to ban you fedi wide so freedom enjoyer’s just go do their discourse on other sub’s and servers

        To be fair, that’s kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.

        There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.

        Glad to have you here though! 😊

          Banning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid.

          People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.

          Hiding from them in a bubble doesn’t make them disappear.

      Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.

      It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.

        I’ve been hearing this for years, and yet, literal neo-nazis are running the us government now. But go ahead and keep using the anti-woke rhetoric lol.

        what a cop out. there’s no functional difference between an idiot that works to advance nazi ideologies and the same but they have a swastika tattoo on their neck. to resist fascism means to confront ALL fascists. it’s not about disagreement or people you dont like, most people are using ur-fascism as their default definition and umberto eco has a fucking 14 point checklist we’re using. to act like it’s so arbitrary is completely out of touch.

        Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.
