I have no idea who deleted my post: https://anarchist.nexus/post/880380#comment_5219646
The post broke no rules at all, but apparently enough people got mad that they use software made by Nazis like DHH that it got pulled down.
This is the entire post:

If someone could help me out with the modlogs that I couldn’t find, that would be awesome.
In short; it looks like my post was deleted because enough Nazis reported it.
Edit: cleaned things up and included the modlog
LW is filled with Zionist and Nazis. I mean, the instance is ran by one.
So… just bog-standard liberals, then?
Never heard that before. What is this based on?
his continued support and defense of zionists and racists. including a mod that said he hated BLM because the protests were an inconvenience on his way to work.
Ah, I was hoping for something to cite.
all the evidence is in this comm. there are a few users who have compiled mega lists, but unless you talk to one of them you just gotta use search like the rest of us.

Any search for “dhh fascist” will give you more results than you will ever want to read.
Oh sorry, I meant some reference on the idea that lemmy.world is run by a nazi?
Most likely ‘nazi’ is being used to refer to a supporter of ethnic settler colonialism, rather than NSDAP.
PTB. There’s nothing political warning people about nazi-tainted projects.
I agree with your intent and your opinion 100%, also PTB, but god I hate what the word “political” means in the context you’re using it.
Fascism and Nazi-ism are literally kinds of politics. Warning against fascism, is absolutely political.
A rule about not accepting political posts, is FUCKING POLITICAL. Instead of “no politics”, a healthier rule could be “no political party themes”.
“Well respected” state politics may be excluded, as there is still the pretense of “opinions of application”, with the supposed common goal of “common good”. (Mostly just a pretense, but a positive pretense nonetheless).
Forbidding politics to the point of forbidding warnings about fascism, is dangerous and damaging. Like forbidding warnings of danger, “because they don’t fit the aesthetics of the space”.
At best, stupid. At worst, protecting fascism.
I fullly support communities that want to ban discussions of naziism based on it being politics because it is an idiotic distinction to make without explicitly stating.
The lemmy dot world Nazi bar is alive and well I see
they ain’t never beating the accusations. probably has something with them sending the Staatspolizei after anyone who criticizes zionists or nazis.
I had the opportunity to tag more than one user defending Nazi/far right bullshit, so the post being removed wasn’t a total loss.
It’s easy to see if someone is a Nazi or Nazi adjacent on the fediverse, just look for the @lemmy.world at the end of their username
I wouldn’t go that far. It is a huge instance, and I dislike sweeping generalizations. Saying that is similar to all the “hexbear can’t criticize China” bullshit floating around.
That viewpoint of “the people I associate with have nothing to do with me” is exactly why instances like world delete things calling out Nazis though. If you participate in a space that happily shields Nazis from critisism, then you’re willingly hanging out with Nazis and amplifying their voice.
Hexbear and China is a good example too as you’ve called out. If you’re hanging out in Hexbear, then you’re willingly participating in a space that doesn’t buy into western media perception of China and doesn’t allow critisism of China through that western media lens. So you aren’t really wrong even if you’re trying to get me with it. For better or worse that’s the crowd and by participating in it one is amplifying those voices too.
It’s important to look around us and see who we’re hanging out with, who we’re supporting, who were amplifying.
I don’t amplify Nazis, because I don’t participate in world. Those that do participate in world are though because world lets Nazis do their thing without criticism.
I wasn’t really trying for a “gotcha”, and I generally agree. My point was more about prejudice over someone’s views based on their instance alone, which I am sure you’re well aware of. I can’t say as much for myself and the instance that I am on since I chose very deliberately because of my beliefs. Average user from .world, though? While they may be unknowingly participating in the propagation of fascism, I doubt that they are vaguely aware of it. The moderation/admin? Fuck those turbo libs.
Edit: I am the worst at typing on mobile.
china won’t pay my rent. damn revisionists!
OK, that made me genuinely lol and I needed that
What community did you post this to?
Everything is political, but this is explicitly political, and they have a rule against political posts.
And it’s not even a meme. Maybe a Linux shitposts community would be a better fit.
I don’t see warning people about projects they really should not support because they are run by a Nazi as political, but more of a PSA. And not every meme is funny.
especially in that context nazi is just being used to describe a political viewpoint
The point is any place that claims apolitical as a rule is invariably a nazi bar.
PTB. Lemmy.world is for liberal bullshit like supporting nazis.
Remember, for your own mental health: sometimes the trash takes itself out.
Bad people use the Fediverse. We are not immune to fascists, paedophiles, bigots, and other problematic types because we lean progressive here. Block the bad ones as they make themselves known, and if they block you, they’ve done you a favour. Enjoy your nicer feed.
i wondered if you’d come in here.
PTB for sure
I would like to point out that I appreciate you and all the admins of the FAF and what you do.
i handle praise poorly so i’m gonna deflect to all the excellent work that came before me
They added a rule that posts cannot include an indivual - like the known Nazi DHH
DHH, the Ruby on Rails guy?
known for RoR and hating brown people
The one and the same.
PTB that’s wild 😆
Actually, here it is. They are avoiding the topic that Linux now has a (more public facing) Nazi problem.

Did you message the mods? Maybe they’re willing to see things differently?
Apparently your post was taken down for “politics”, which is covered by that community’s Rule 3…which also says that “Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux”. So…IMO it’s either Linux content and allowed, or linux-related Non-Linux content and allowed. It should be put back up.
Honestly it’s a shit rule and I will be leaving that community until it’s changed. In any case, add it to the list of liberal horseshit that lemmy.world is designed to impose on the rest of the Fediverse, and to the evidence for why we should join communities on other instances.
I did not message the mods. There were enough Nazis that basically self-identified through sealioning. That was enough for me. I baited out 2 Nazis.
Also, yeah the “keep politics out” rule was there. I guess nptb here, but fuck. If you are willing to shill Nazi shit, then shut the fuck up (preferably forever)
Edit: words hard on mobile
