Woozle HypertwinAcid test for any social network or fedi instance:
If you say "fuck you" to a Nazi, who gets banned?
Sébastien Night@woozle On this instance, both 🙂
flere-imsaho 🇺🇦@sebastien @woozle oh, so it's a *polite* authoritarian instance?
@mawhrin @woozle lol...I knew I'd be getting flak for replying. But hey, the question shows up in my feed, so what's it for?
So - I think cultivating a space for cordial civil discussion is important. The non-Nazi user would be expected (in our community) to report the offending post/user to mods so the offending behavior can be blocked from the entire instance. This benefits the community. Insults don't.
(I wouldn't *ban* the "non-Nazi" user, but they'd get a warning)

I'd say that's within the scope of reason, especially given the possible ambiguity around whether the "Nazi" really understands the face-eating leopard they're getting into bed with.
They may be just unwittingly repeating disinformation, or something that sounds like it.
There's a lot to be said for attitude-checking: does the "Nazi" adjust their views in response to new information, or do they just get angrier?
