Always love to hear the deep lore. Lemmy’s early development makes a lot more sense now. Good on them(you) to leave everything open and learn from Reddit’s mistakes.
Still, free and open has a limit. No Facebook and no Nazis. That’s just common sense everyone used to have.
What happens is the definition of nazi changes to incorporate anyone who disagrees with you.
I have this theory that people who complain about everyone being called nazis, have themselves been called a nazi.
Why do people call you a nazi, hmm?
When I asked that I ended up with more than -100 and comments like "oh so you defend them".
"I like waffles."
"Oh, so you hate pancakes!"
Yes, in fact I'm calling for the centrally-organised, systematic eradication of pancakes from the breakfast menu. That's what I mean when I say I like waffles.
The fact that you people can't see how distasteful it is to compare the fucking Nazis to breakfast foods in a cute way, says everything anyone needs to know about you.
You're young, you'll weather with time. We're all just trying to get along.
Yes, it didn't take long for somebody to accuse me of being a literal nazi. Those are odd people, though. Don't tend to meet them in the real world, only on the internet.
