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.

That is one viewpoint of mine.

If say- you ban the_donald from here- What is the basis that couldn't be applied to also ban https://lemmy.world/c/the_donald

One is hate speech coming from the right. The other is hate speech (self admitted) coming from the left.
