any platform committed to free speech and no censorship will attract Nazis, fwiw - so it wouldn't be surprising a decentralized blockchain project that is committed to free speech might have Nazis on its platform
Platforms that have no free-speech and censorship... also have Nazis.
They are everywhere.
Good luck creating a Nazi-free platform.
the point is that the free-speech platforms generally try to make it harder to remove content, so that the typical moderation that happens on more mainstream platforms isn't possible
it's for this reason Nazis in particular flock to those spaces and form their communities, because there's no one to stop them
So don't use them?
I don't understand what your problem is. You don't want to see Nazi content, nobody is forcing you to watch it. You just seem to think it shouldn't exist at all?
Nazis wrote books too, does that mean you can't ever read a book?
whoa, weird hostility - I don't care about this at all, and I'm not making a point; ironically I'm someone who has spent time in communities like ZeroNet where this is an issue. I'm just clarifying why the Nazi bar problem is real and prevalent in so many of the decentralized, free-speech-oriented online communities (to help the person I was responding to understand the context)
Again, what is your point? Nazis exist, yes. And you what... think any platform that doesn't try to systematically erase them is bad or something? Or you only feel comfortable using a platform that has never once ever had any Nazi content on it?
What is your end goal here? So far all I can tell is you are like: 'this thing exists, and there are maybe some nazis on it.'.
Where you are going after that I am totally confused.
I have no end-goal, I've already explained why I made my comment:
Sometimes people are just helpful and don't have a rhetorical point.
If you keep at me with this aggression I'll just block you and move on.
Do you go out outside to make sure the sun is still there?
You call it 'aggression' I call it pointing your 'concern' is about as significant as worrying if the sun won't be there tomorrow unless you personally witness it.
bye, Felicia!
