hm, i thought KDE was trying to make up for platforming the nazi. lots of people today saying "let's give KDE a chance!"
nope, they're now doubling down further.
this post is a study in the art of nazi apologetics in online discourse - removing the content of the issue and leaving only a description phrased to sound innocent.
what happened is that the straight-up nazi was posting, someone identified that this person was a straight-up nazi, the nazi admitted they were that nazi, then KDE banned the person calling out the nazi and kept the nazi
KDE *later* banned the nazi - after public outrage at KDE's behaviour - but the person who called the nazi out is still banned
the social media person sympathising here with the nazi tries to claim that calling out the nazi is equivalent to real world violence.
@davidgerard Was the other patron sitting in the restaurant in a tight black Hugo Boss uniform, leather boots and all, with a big red armband with a black swastika in a white circle on it, and was holding the hand in a "Roman salute" at the moment of being punched? We're missing a bit of context for the "a user walks into a restaurant" allegory...

@darkpixel what a disconnected and fatuous comment

@davidgerard fascinating how it's always worse to call someone a Nazi (with receipts) than to actually _be_ a Nazi.
-
@davidgerard to be fair, I would be ok with someone walking into a restaurant and randomly punching a nazi
@coegho @davidgerard I’d definitely tip the waitress if I saw her randomly punch a Nazi (that she was previously serving) in a restaurant. I’d put it on my credit card, she earned it.

@Mabande @davidgerard you should always call them “phrenology inclined” the first time.
— So and so, seem to be phrenology inclined, given his comments in the forum. I wonder if we need to embrace phrenology in our code base.

@davidgerard seem you need glass.
They remind people how to report nazi, instead of attacking him / her directly in case he / she's innocent.
We need order and rules ..., where nazi are removed properly, not witch hunt.
@skyblitz
“Order and rules” alone are quickly subverted by by nazis, because you can't write enough rules for every case, and right-wingers are adapting faster than any governance process.Many communities have fallen to this already.

Talk a lot of shit, then clutch your pearls when someone calls you out for being a shitty person. "Freedom of speech, be professional, etc"
Typical bully behavior.
I was glad to hear they banned the Nazi. But then heard the original person is still banned. So they decided they were right, the guy's a fascist, but still kept the ban in place.
Nah, man. Pointing out someone's shitty behavior is not violence. Dehumanizing people absolutely is.
And the "punching someone seemingly at random" is interesting. Because, in that scenario, it wasn't random, they just didn't have the information. It *seemed* random but it's not.
Geez. The hoops people will jump through to try and claim neutrality. But if someone advocates dehumanizing people -- including people like some of my kids -- neutrality is just support for them.

@Bfordham I'm very disappointed that they didn't unban the original person, or at least give them the option to appeal it @davidgerard

Same. Especially since they banned the nazi and even said "normally we wouldn't do this but it's so blatant."
I'd even take "We're unbanning you, please follow the process next time" or whatever.

@skyblitz @davidgerard The proper way to remove a Nazi is to plunge a stake through it's heart, separate the head from the body, crucify the body in sunlight and throw the head across a river.

@davidgerard Does KDE need a shovel to dig a deeper hole at this point.

This is definitely a "it's worse to call someone a racist than be a racist" type of mentality, an attempt at tone policing, etc.

@skyblitz @sotolf @davidgerard Since the "innocent" you're going on about is a fucking Nazi, and in the words of my grandad "The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi" — something he didn't just say but acted on in the Royal Air Force — you can fuck off you goddamn Nazi apologist
