I understand and agree.

I don't agree with most of what you're saying. While fascism and white supremacy causes immense harm, you still have to see individuals as people.

Okay. I've been pondering myself for a while. I think I asked the wrong questions previously.

The situation isn't about ostracizing users, it is about a desire for a company to not platform and financially support fascist people. Which makes total sense to me.

Yes. I did this with Monster Truck Madness and still remember the opening announcer guy.

I also did this with Big Red Racing, Diddy Kong Racing, and Rallisport Challenge.

Thank you for your response. I hear you loud and clear.

That is true. To be clear: I don't advocate for allowing or ignoring hate speech.

I appreciate your response. I do not want to be in the same room as people that think my peers or I shouldn't exist based on identity. Therefore people experiencing desires of fascism aren't welcome. I still personally ponder how to rehabilitate them.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying.

I just want people to ponder this: What happens when we ostracize people with bigoted beliefs from our communities? Does that mean we have given up on the idea that communities can change people? Does that mean our community is not responsible for helping people realize their bigotry?

No interoperability between protocols today as far as I know.

Yeah, I'm not going to verify all the maintainers of the software I use is vegan, believes in climate change, and left. While I believe the causes are just and important, not every moment is a time to align values and divide.
