Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.

... but that looks like a mod/comm ban, not an admin/instance ban?

feddit.org is a German hosted instance that has to abide by the German law. By that law, your comment falls into a grey-zone of legality. As much as I agree with you, they were right in removing your comment, as they are legally obligated to. They could get into trouble if they don't.

To quote the feddit.org sidebar:

Content that is illegal in Germany, Austria or Switzerland will be deleted and can lead to an immediate ban of the account.

This seems like a 50:50 type scenario. I personally wouldn't bother with moderation unless someone complained, but a good faith arguement can be made that you were breaking the rules.

While the current US adminstration is arguably somewhere between proto-fascist and fully fascist (there is lots more room for democratic and human rights backsliding), I can see how dehumanisation can be seen as a legitimate moderation reason for your comments.

Not a power tripping Mod just a huge misunderstanding.

Vance, you wanted to label as Nazi and went off a rant, was only mentioned indirectly, so you probably couldn't mean him.

And instead of talking to the Mods you started this post.

Hi, I happen to be a moderator on that community. I wouldn't have banned you but I won't put my partners' decision under scrutiny if this is a temporal ban. If this ban is permanent, feel free to DM me, I'd like to review what happened here.

PS. Moderating communities is exhausting! And terribly difficult given my account is not on feddit.org

Well, yeah. We don’t condone murdering murderers, either.

Nazis are shitbags, yes, but like, calm down a bit. Don't stoop down to their level.

My grandad who fought in WW2 used to say to me "You don't speak to Nazis. You shoot Nazis".

I may be less radical than that but I would gladly see all nazis and nazi apologists on compulsory re-education courses or in prisons.

Edit: I hope the OP don't mind me using this post in my https://lemmy.world/c/opisafuckingidiot community with the explanation that this time it is a mod who is an idiot: https://lemmy.world/post/25616034

From an anarchist/leftist perspective this is a clear case of PTB. But a milquetoast response to fascism is one of the identifying characteristics of liberalism (unfortunately), so I don't think anyone will be surprised about this type of censorship on a mostly liberal server tbh.

Classic right wing mindset requiring tolerance of intolerance.

In germany we say 'heul leise' and i think this is beautiful.

Being real, it looks like your entire point in posting was to have an excuse to continue talking about the subject. Which isn't against the rules of the C/, but I seems kinda weird. There's plenty of places where you can talk about hating nazis and what you wish you could do to them.

Realized I should probably add the post as context In Munich, Vance accuses European politicians of censoring free speech
