    Funny you should mention this. I got banned from several communities for saying something like this.

      The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.

        And I avoid communities that enforce that nonsense. All I want in community moderation is enforcement of civil discourse and keeping discussion on topic. That’s it.

      It really depends on the context. I agree that calling everyone a Nazi is watering down the meaning but a lot of right wingers also say that when you call actual Nazis Nazis.

        Yup. It can be a surprisingly thin line, but if you come with receipts, it’s fine.

        Don’t call people nasty things because you don’t like them, call them nasty things because that’s accurate.
