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.
jan-leila@pathunstrom god I wish that question of "definition" had a useful answer. Life would be a hell of a lot easier

There are resources if you want to get on the more academic side of things. Like, the classic, Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, or Jason Stanley's How Fascism Works. Or any philosophical essay on those.
Yet on the internet you need CQC-philosophy. To which an excellent tool is the Popper's Paradox. And the usage is same and simple as above: they fail PP and you ban them, or they question PP, you link the comic or the meme »
