    I wouldn’t really call it a circlejerk to be against people who publish and profit from Nazi material.

      The person who wrote the article we’re supposed to be discussing in here is at least 2 degrees away from the nazis. At what point does it become circlejerk?

      The Lemmy instance you’re on is linking to a substack and is collecting donations, but you seem to be fine with that. So I guess the threshold is 3 degrees?

        I have nothing against the author of this article. I do have something against Substack. It really is that simple. If this article is posted somewhere else I’ll read it.

        If this Lemmy instance had a bunch of Nazi content and the admins said they wanted to keep it up, then I’d block this instance. I wouldn’t try to rationalise it by saying “oh well it’s not like all the content is Nazi content…”

        Again, it really is that simple.

        If you’re fine with supporting a platform that welcomes Nazis with open arms, fine, you do you. It’s a personal choice.

          If you’re fine with supporting a platform that welcomes Nazis with open arms, fine, you do you.

          Now you’re basically implying that I’m a Nazi-sympathiser. I find that a cheap tactic and highly offensive.

          That’s my issues with these kind of oversimplifications and guilty-by-association-fallacies. Before you know it, everyone is Hitler. I’m not supporting anyone here. I read an article about Spotify on a blog, nobody gained any measurable financial worth from that.

          I don’t think we’re going to find a common ground here. Have nice day.

            You sure are bending over backwards in order to defend Nazi publishers and Nazi collaborators. It’s hard to see you as anything other than a Nazi sympathizer yourself. You are the company you keep.

              If Olivia Rafferty here (they only one I defended) is a nazi collaborator, then sure, by your logic, I must be too. And thanks to the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, you’re one too.

              Congratulations. At this point the term has lost all meaning, and we’re all nazis.
