Piper ThunstromAdvice for community managers:
Use the Olivia Hill rule.
It's surprisingly easy to enforce:
Fascists get really upset and will talk to you about why the rule is bad.
You then ban them.
That's it, that's all the work it takes!
So, unsurprisingly, the rule keeps working.
Behold this person, who immediately asked for a sharp definition of fascist.
This is the kind of person you're ejecting before they create problems.
As close as I can tell from what little information I can glean, I don't think this person is a fascist, but he's definitely not someone I want in my spaces.
This is why it works.
MaxTheFox@pathunstrom It gets some self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist liberals too. But there's a relevant Disco Elysium quote.
Steban, the Student Communist - "[...] The only people who actually call themselves liberals are mouth-foaming reactionaries."
Echo Maker - "Basically indistinguishable from fascists. You'd need an x-ray machine to tell the difference."
