    @PugJesus@piefed.social

    Is the ban necessary? Personally I enjoy the discussions that spring from radically different interpretations of history.

    Subscribers of this sub should have or develop the knowledge to judge these comments accordingly.

      Lies spread by repetition, not the strength of the point. “Radically different interpretations” are fine; disinfo and fascist apologia is not.

        I hope I can make two suggestions about the moderation process.

        If you ban a user for disinfo, it would be good if you could ban the specific comment so that the reason is visible in the mod log and the audience can learn what is wrong.

        OP was banned as Tankie, almost permanently. You should add Tankie to the sidebar. Fascists and Tankies are totalitarian but not the same thing.

          Preserving misinformation has no value.

          Red fash are fascists; both the points of Ur-Fascism and that of a palingenetic ultranationalist regime apply to red fash, but I’ll update the rules to make that more explicit.
