gab, nazis, antisemitism
if you can bring yourself to click on a link to the Daily Stormer, #Gab just banned fascist Andrew Auernheimer ("weev") for suggesting an Oklahoma-city style bombing against Jewish people.
The far-right suddenly realising that Gab only protects the "free speech" that the admins like is a fucking BπEπAπUπTπIπFπUπL scene to behold
"I wanted to fight for Torba and for Gab. Now, I donβt think there is anything there to fight for."

@wisniepr go argue with the people on Daily Stormer, they definitely think it's "free speech".
If you really think Gab should be blocking incitements to violence then I hope you have a lot of patience for all the reports you're about to have to do there, there's a fucktonne of it! π

@handle the question is what to do? Wall yourself off using authoritarian tactics or leave it to the individual users to deal with. I prefer the more free route.

@wisniepr so you want a platform that's even more open to mass death threats than Gab? Maybe make some friends who are Jewish / black / queer / disabled / otherwise marginalised and politely ask them how they feel about that..

@handle I don't know how you could infer from my answers, that I'm advocating for some death threats to some marginalized people. There is a question if you are sincere in helping humanity as a whole or you just want to score some cheap social brownie points as a 'protector of the downtrodden'.

@wisniepr because you're saying that blocking people for making death threats against marginalised groups is "authoritarian"? If you're not trying to argue in favour of said death threats then maybe ponder why you're ending up doing so π€

@handle it all comes down to how the blocking is done. If a person receives a verifiable death threat, then that person has all the rights to block the individual account user and/or inform the authorities. Banning whole instances 'on behalf of some supposedly offended minorities' is nothing more than moral grandstanding. Banning is also counterproductive, the more effective approach is engaging with such people, mocking them and ridicule and satirize their behavior.
