Edit: Rule has been replaced.
Old title was “An addendum to the rules. No more using the words “Nazi” or “Fascist”.”
The words Nazi and Fascist have no meaning. No one is referring to 1940s Germany or 1930s Italy. It’s just name-calling at this point. You can see this all over this sub.
So the banned words has been extended from just stuff like racial slurs to include Nazi and Fascist.
Yes, I do realize this is a slippery slope, but hopefully any meaning you wanted to impart can still be done without the kindergarten-level name-calling.
Credit to https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected] for the idea.
Hell of a lot better than my “Conservatives Only” tag idea or banning bad faith arguments. It’s a clear cut rule that should help with a problem without cutting down on actual discussions.
If you have any feedback/complaints/raging against the machine/questions, feel free to leave them here.
Ah, thanks for the post. Nice reminder that I need to block this community.
I’d like for there to be a community where actual discussions of convervative issues and opinions could occur. Heck I think it would be great if there were a functional conservative party operating in the US, but we’re long past that ever being possible. Moderate conservatives are primaried out because they aren’t fascist enough. Best of luck, but I’ll block this community, in all likelihood some time in the near future, because at this point in the world when you put conservative as a label on a community it will be a dog whistle that attracts nazis, fascists, racists, etc. SMH.
Unfortunately the mods would rather just have a community overrun by leftists just spamming their garbage as if there aren’t enough communities for that on the platform already.
Boo hoo.
How awful it must be to have to listen to others. How awful it must be to not use slurs.
Truly you are suffering.
