    As so often happens:

    “We’re just tired of these THOUGHT POLICE and want to make a place where we can finally just hang out and be comfortable without the fun police hanging over our shoulders censoring every word we’re free speech warriors come join us we’re better”

    Turned out to mean:

    “I want to be an asshole, you have no rights whatsoever, that’s a given and fuck you, and if anyone EVER infringes on any of my rights real or imagined in any way no matter how trivial, I will throw a hissy fit of thermonuclear proportions”

    (I’m just assuming that this PTB is indicative of hilariouschaos / exploding-heads in general, I don’t have a very strong read on what they’re about. But I think it is a safe working theory.)

      HC is not exploding heads. The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.

      You are welcome to start your own community on HC and moderate it as you see fit.

        Yeah, no, they do. That’s kind of the point of administration. By allowing actions to take place on the instance, those actions can become representative of the instance. The fact that you’re an inattentive or uncaring administrator doesn’t absolve you of the actions taken under your watch.

              By the same logic you would have to start a perpetual witch hunt on all instances - after all, they could be anywhere.

              HC (the instance) does not support any side of the political debate. I guess that’s intolerable.

                  We do not tolerate content that a nazi would post (e.g. calls for violence, discrimination based on race, etc).

                  What do you understand by “nazi”?

                implying Nazis are just a “side of the political debate”

                Elsewhere in this thread, accusing the enemy of doing exactly what they are doing.

                Emphasizes to the point of nausea that they are categorically neutral and unbiased

                Twisting words, appeal to ideological principle (“intolerable”), and other bad faith arguments.

                Yep, that’s a rightwing instance alright.

                  A conservative community =/= the nazis. Also most of the accounts posting there are not even HC users.

                  Can you show me an example of nazi content on HC?

                    Oh, let’s add strawmanning to that list

                    Live footage of the admin trying to do damage control:

            Bullshit like this happening to me, for one. I also wouldn’t want a community on lemmy.world or slrpnk for the same reason: Because then, not only would I be associating myself with their brand, but I would also be subject to having weird stuff happen to my community because of decisions by admins I don’t trust.

              I’m on the record here that you would be free to moderate as you wish, so long as instance rules are adhered to - just like everyone else.

        Yes it is.

        The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.

        I mean that’s fair, but also, this is the #2 community there. The #1 community is an AI news summary place made by a person I find notably weird and disagreeable.

        You are welcome to start your own community on HC and moderate it as you see fit.

        Yeah, I’ll get right on that. It sounds delightful.
