Look; this instance exist because of censorship. Mostly anti covid and election interferance censorship.

I’m trying to set an example for freedom of expression here. That means I need to occasionally tolerate views I don’t agree with. Like communist who deny genocide is taking place. Or people who think interracial marriage leads to inferior offspring. (My children are mixed, i’m in a interracial marriage )

But we need to make one thing clear. Nazis absolutely disgust me.

I have Jewish friends and they don’t shape shift at night.

That said; if someone respectfully expresses an opinion especially backed with articles and science I will not censor it.

If you think someone is so terrible but aren’t willing to put in the effort to “debunk” their claims then in my mind you just accept they are right.

We have user block; community block functions and everyone can use them if they don’t like content.

For the most part I don’t get people here complaining about to many bad opinions but generally want less censorship.

But there is occasionally those that do here and else where so I need to virtue signal a bit here.

      We don’t have to actually censor anything from free forum. A chaotic place to say anything is great.

      The official stance of wolfballs is , Nazis fuck off. We can be morally against a idea but not delete their comments.

      We cannot be welcoming to Nazis. I’m not going to roll out a red carpet for people who want my family dead.

      I’m not actually censoring anyone though.

      If someone wants to leave based on a purely moral stance then that isn’t someone I need to build this platform up. They won’t be helping us or doing us any favors.

      Know that over half of the “Nazis” are likely angry left wingers trying to ruin the wolfballs experience. They don’t want us to have a place to express ourselves so they post offensive stuff to get us taken down.

        The Left-wing comment is fair. And they do worse. They become vocal members and then commit violent acts, posing as the side they oppose. The Charlottesville incident that was used as an excuse to remove platforms was committed by a liberal. It was a liberal driving a car that killed/injured counter-demonstrators. When that doesn’t get a site deleted soon enough, hacktivists take over trying to take the site down. If that doesn’t work, they shame sponsors, attempt to get their DNS registration revoked, cut off their payment providers, etc.
