No one is stopping you from joining a server full of Nazis.
Those openly avocating violence and cruelty towards others who are being neither violent or cruel aren't "just another reasonable point of view that deserves to be heard"

Not contributing to the debate necessarily, I'd just like to take a moment to say:

Tbf, if you don't like "Those openly avocating violence and cruelty towards others who are being neither violent or cruel," then you'll want to be on an instance that defederates lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Before the reddit exodus this place was almost entirely genocide denialiasts who support Cuba, China, Russia (incl. the current invasion and simping for the USSR), and who want to literally murder all small business owners and landlords even if they only rent out their spare room or an old townhouse from before they got married for some extra income to help pay for meds in retirement, but no matter, "bourgeoisie."

The only reason they aren't so prominent today is the flood drowned them out a bit, they're still very much here, and they're no better than the Nazis, and the kicker is they both think they're the good guys lol.

Edit: Hehe downvotes mean nothing here, but I can see I upset a few of those genocide denialists and that makes me happy.
