So it doesn't seem like your position is necessarily going to be the position of Restore as it continues. People like Steve Laws, Hugh Anthony, Zoomer Historian were prominent on Twitter in organising people in joining the party. Many ethnonationalists are members of the party, and Lowe himself refuses to reject them or organise the party to say they're not welcome. Steve Laws himself is gloating about how he is influential with the party here and has contacts, and Lowe - even with the knowledge that someone like him is claiming this - has apparently offered no repudiation.

I'm asking you if that is the extent of those you wish to deport, because much of the online Reform fanbase goes much further and suggests expelling non-white citizens.

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?

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?

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.

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.
