Lemm.ee Conservative Community has had an Elon Nazi salute post up for two days now.
IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don’t really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.
You’re going to run into this with almost any “conservative” community. To be a conservative, you have to be somewhat tolerant of Neo-Nazis to some degree, with the current way the world is. So you either need a non-conservative moderator or you’ll have a situation where the conservative moderator will perpetually be stepping in to say “now cmon guys, we all wanna have fun but the site admins are really specific about not saying the quiet part out loud, so keep thinking it but not saying it”
