For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

      There are examples where this was tried. It doesn’t work. People who disagree with Nazis leave the platforms, so the result is the same.

          You can theorize about semantics all you want, but don’t try to gaslight someone who was physically attacked by actual, real Nazis, who describe themselves as Nazis and can’t be seen as anything but Nazis.

              I’ve been banned from multiple subreddits because of that. What happens here is that people with differing opinions get pushed away to places where they get pushed more and more in right extremist corners. What you want ends up in people getting more extremist. If you want to resolve that, if you want to avoid being attacked by neo-nazi’s, then talk to people before they become extreme…

              This sounds like a threat

              If you’ve been banned specifically because of people thinking you’re a nazi, and you’re arguing getting banned will push people to farther extremes, brother thats not a good look.
