I think it's important to downvote them and even make them feel unwelcome. You can't let Nazis and white supremacists in your communities because any community that doesn't kick out Nazis will eventually find itself overrun by Nazis fleeing communities that kick them out.
You don't need to argue or make a fuss, but make sure to downvote anyone who doesn't believe all people are born equal and that people have a right to choose what to do and who to love.
People downvote me all the time and I just think "well they're wrong, I've laid out my argument and they can't refute it". So I imagine Nazis feel the same way when you downvote them.
Edit: case in point
Imagine being able to justify yourself by finding commonality with Nazis.
He means that the nazis wont give a samb about the downvotes and that it would be better to be clear to their faces.
That's.... not what they are saying. They are critiquing the strategy. If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn't mean we're all Nazzis.
I don't understand why so many struggle with addressing the message and are so eager to shoot the messenger. It's weird but really common on Lemmy.
Using one example to make the rule is bad logic.
