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.

    We don’t want to censor unpopular views, and we also don’t want to harbor the hateful content that sparked this post. Please continue to report and let us know.

    With conservative communities, you don’t take this risk by avoiding them. They harbor disinformation and harmful content, even if it isn’t expressed in a direct way. In our current context, they are harmful by nature.

    Even if these communities did not exist, we would still encounter their viewpoints (conservative) in other contexts, one way or another. For example, a discussion about unionization in video games within a gaming-related community will still include their views.
