    More drama now targeting sowing discord between the large communities. The Donald sucks but if we remove them then we have to make rules to what communities we will now allow or not. Can’t just make special rules for one person.

      We already have some rules including a no bigotry rule

      No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

      So I guess as long as they can follow that rule they can stay, but I doubt it.

      “No nazi shit” is a simple rule that should be the default on any decent community. That’s enough to get rid of the_donald and anything like that that pops up, without slippery slopes or “special rules for one person”

        Is posting about Donald or the American right “nazi shit?” It specifically has to be nazi shit to be nazi shit.

        Whilst the sentiment is admirable, such terms are just completely undefined in the current internet climate. On the one hand there are folks who wouldn’t consider literal nazis to be"nazi shit" and on the other those who consider almost everyone else to be literal nazis.

        As someone who’s had the dubious honor of simultaneously being a “libtard commie” and “literal nazi”, I’d much rather rely on sensible moderation and common sense amongst us users.
