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/dukethorion@lemmy.world 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.

    That is a 370 page book. You can’t possibly expect anyone to read it, and even if someone had, they might come away with a different intepretation.

    What specific intepretation did you want us to come away with?

      The other user was asking for help.

      You want me to chew food for you, too?

      Back in my day television was called 'books." Maybe you could find a YouTube personality to give you political theory.
