    There’s plenty of Nazis in the Fediverse, just not on any instances your instances are federated with.

        On the one hand yes, on the other hand that means the Fediverse is involuntarily providing those freaks their own Fedi-Truth-Social.

          You’ll never be able to keep these people from talking to each other, but you can quarantine them in their own little circles where they cause as little damage as possible to the outside world.

            Hopefully… Recent developments look more like they are using unmoderated social media to radicalize themselves and plan real shit.

              Yes, even in small groups they can do absolutely horrible things, as they have done in the past. But that doesn’t really change if we allow them to have a bigger audience. And in the end, it’s also a numbers game. In a group of 100 fascists, the chance of encountering someone who is both motivated and capable of causing major harm to society is smaller than in a group of 10,000.

          They could go set up email lists on Google Groups and nobody will ever know.
