I don't get it. They clearly have a left leaning base. Why throw that away?
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

what
Earlier this week a user posted "kill Nazis" and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
That's what kicked this off (again).
There was already some upset feelings in the community because at the beginning of the week one of the "Elbow Deep In A" accounts got suspended over a "Gone Mild" drawing of a goblin girl. So it didn't take much for the community to be really upset with "business daddy"
I recently got something similar on reddit. I don't remeber the exact quote, but "I can't believe these people haven't been murdered yet" is apparently a credible death threat now.
I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. "Promoting Violence"
I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. "Promoting violence"
Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. "Inciting violence".
Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don't agree with that world view.

Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.
At first I was annoyed that Imgur got blocked for people in the UK. Now I'm relieved. Something something Nazi bar...
I'm just thankful that the community isn't one to make it a nazi bar, even if business daddy wants it to be.
kind of wish we would stop letting them have Nordic runes.
And Buddhist symbols 卍 卐
That's still going to take time. It is like their main symbol. Education on that in schools will go a long way. And it's not just Buddhist either. Native Americans and Irish used to use them to.
Before 1930s that symbol was in magazines and shit too.
Imgur has pissed me off long enough that I decided to roll my own this summer. When all I need is a place to store stuff for easy linking, building a web frontend is pretty trivial.
Plus I'm not limited to whatever file type and size imgur decides.
And guess what, my site condones punching Nazis:
Site address?
dreifir.com
...but signup isn't possible yet (no, I will not allow anonymous uploads).
It looks like shit, but it works. DM me if you're interested in testing it, and I'll set up a login for you.
This video with sound is like my emotional support video 🥰 my ASMR is the sound of Nazis being punched
And it all comes full circle
(For those who don't know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)
What's the deal with the grid symbol? The "hashtag" with extra lines?
I believe the point is the swastika is actually hidden in the grid.
Thanks, that makes sense-ish.
