I’ll write it one more time: if an instance bans a communist but not the person threatening said person with violence, it’s a Nazi-friendly community

Then this equally applies to lemmy.zip, presumably. But apparently it doesn’t.

That’s up to you, but you’ve made a bunch of assumptions in everything here.

As I said: Also, whether or not you characterise it as a threat (I think it’s unsavoury and emotive and violent rhetoric, but not really a threat as such unless you specifically plan to go to Poland or something) - it doesn’t automatically make them or someone a nazi.

And you’re not answering my question: And can you tell me why you don’t also make these same claims to lemmy.zip since the user is from there?

So anyone who is rude to a communist is automatically a nazi? Is that your genuine position?

And can you tell me why you don’t also make these same claims to lemmy.zip?

I’m pointing out your double standards when judging instances, and your accusation - even if entirely true, doesn’t remotely meet the threshold of being nazi at all.

If the threat of violence from another user directed at me had happened in a .zip instance and I had gotten banned instead of them, I’d be making the same accusation.

So you don’t apparently expect lemmy.zip to respond to users like that, but you do in piefed.social? What? Because the lemmy.zip user did it on a remote community? Also, how do you know the instance ban and community ban are directly connected?

Also, whether or not you characterise it as a threat (I think it’s unsavoury and emotive and violent rhetoric, but not really a threat as such unless you specifically plan to go to Poland or something) - it doesn’t automatically make them or someone a nazi.

Sorry, do you hold the same accusations to lemmy.zip too, as the user is from that instance? Are they also not nazis by your logic?

Also, are you saying anyone who looks past any threat, or inciendary language or violent rhetoric of any kind to someone who is a communist, no matter the specific context is automatically a nazi?

Banned from that specific community, or banned from the instance entirely? Because being banned from the instance, which did happen, was not for that reason.

I reject your premise of racism. Conspiracy theorism isn’t inherently nazi even if an accurate descriptor of someone in some context.

Rimu is no different to most people on the Threadiverse, or the culture or administration of most instances across the fediverse. If he is “deeply reactionary” then that would make most people and instances on the threadiverse “deeply reactionary” - by your terms of reference. In any case, he’s nowhere near being far-right or a nazi. That’s genuinely just a hateful lie. You won’t convince me out of this. This is a truly nasty accusation and speaks to your incredibly low character.

I don’t understand what context you’re supposedly referring to here that somehow justfies hurling outright baseless lies against people.

No, it’s not. I see we’ve degraded from “nazi” to “far-right” to “right-wing” in a few posts too. And if Rimu is right wing, then almost everyone on the fediverse is right-wing according to you - not just piefed, or piefed.social. And sure, I understand that you can interpret nazism in a wider context - but even if you do, Rimu is nowhere near that.

It seems to me to be self-evident that it just isn’t nazi to claim the holodomor was a genocide. You may think it’s wrong, incorrect, perhaps suggestive of unjustified prejudice against communism - but it just isn’t nazi. It’s a nasty vile smear to throw at people. No context makes it so (not even remotely sure what you’re referring to in this case). Rimu is not anti-semitic, Rimu is not a white supremacist, Rimu does not support a one-party authoritarian dictatorship.

And even if it was: If you’re going to accuse Piefed of being specifically far-right or nazi on this basis, then you have to also throw that at most other instances - which the other user didn’t do here.

You think believing the Holodomor is a genocide is inherently far-right? I don’t think either of them are inherently far-right (especially not the former). Also, by “users” you specifically mean Rimu here. Would others hold the same opinion? Sure. But they also do so across the Threadiverse - not specifically on piefed, or piefed.social in specific. If you’re going to accuse Piefed of being specifically far-right on this basis, then you have to also throw that at most other instance - which they didn’t do.

These are not Nazi viewpoints. Moreover, he doesn’t “promote” them other than anyone else promoting what they say as specific users. You think anyone who believes the Holodomor was genocide is a nazi? That’s your definition?

So if I held a similar position on the Holodomor, that would make me a nazi according to you?

Nazi instances nuke Tankie viewpoints because they’re nazis (see feddit and piefed)

Can you tell me what nazi viewpoints are promoted on Piefed please? Be specific.

We’ve been building up the Pacific Fleet since the Bush 43 administration. War with China was the plan for PNAC prior to 9/11. And the Trump admin is flush with China Hawks.

Okay, so? You do realise that China has changed a lot since then. Again: This is a nuclear power with over double the USAs population. What exactly do you imagine the war goals here are?

PPP is a great place to start. Taiwanese cost of living has been climbing since Trump 1 while China has kept itself stable.

Can I see your data points here?

Basics - food, housing, transportation, education, health care - that Taiwan domestic policies privatized during the boom years have come back to eat their lunch in the lean years. Flat wages, rising debt, you do the math.

Still no data points.

You see the same problems across the Pacific Rim capitalist colony states. Everyone from Japan to India has been pinched by supply chain failures and venture capital excess. Taiwan’s not unique in this regard (honestly doing a lot better than most of their peers). But the check always comes due.

Even if this is true, why would the Taiwanese want to become absorbed into a one-party state?

What legislation is planned that will somehow roll back LGBT rights in Taiwan to be equivalent to the PRC?

Your source did not compare homelessness and poverty rates in China as compared to Taiwan.

You understand Taiwan is by far more liberal on LGBT rights than China, right? When did China legalise same-sex marriage? Or any of the rights granted to LGBT people in China?

Do you think LGBT people in Sweden or Canada would prefer the social and legal situation of LGBT rights and expression in China as compared to their countries?

Also, where is your data that homelessness is more prominent in China than Taiwan?

Moreover, do you think journalists, activists in Taiwan, etc want to live under a one-party state where all dissent against the CCP is curated?

Sorry, again, you unironically think that the USA is going to attack China? A nuclear power with over double the USAs population?

The point here is that you aren’t even comparing it to China. What are the metrics and standards of living in Taiwan as compared to China?
