@mike805 @neil Chrome most definitely imposes its authors' political sensibilities on the userbase. The only difference is that the political sensibilities involved are things like "it is fine to surveil users" and "ad blockers are bad", rather than "fuck Nazis".

@womble @neil Well yes Chrome is spyware. Firefox is not entirely immune. But an information access platform having a built in list of "things you cannot see" is a whole new level of control freakery.

You know, some people DO go into Nazi forums to understand their talking points, so as to answer them more effectively.

We saw with FB and TWIT that the censorship went from "Nazis" to "any questioning the COVID narrative or the election" very fast. That doesn't need to come to Mastodon.

@mike805 @womble @neil mhmmm, fosstodon libertarian who thinks going to nazi forums to "understand their talking points" is in any way a legitimate justification for anything *checks bingo card*

Here's how to answer a nazi more effectively: "fuck off".

Anything more gives legitimacy to their existence.

@mike805 @womble @neil gosh it's so strange how every time someone has a very noble and principled "free speech" objection to censoring fascists, they always turn out to be a conspriacy theorist within a few replies
