The glory of instances. If enough people dont like it, they can just block it!
It's a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, it's easy to block out communities with racist, homophobic, and xenophobic views. On the other hand, it allows communities like that to become echo chambers and freely further their abhorrent ideals completely unchecked.
I don't think the ban hammer is the most effective method of shutting down nazi shit, but it's a hell of a lot better than shutting it out of sight and trying to forget about it.
Problem is that if we don't kick out the Nazis, sooner or later this will become a Nazi bar.
