Stop running away from Nazi. Most of them are just trolls with a Nazi facemask to scare a reaction out of you. Don’t cede power to them by acting as if their are dangerous. They are clowns, clown them.
They tried to overthrow the federal government last election and are responsible for countless hate crimes and fomenting prejudice and violence against marginalized people, including supporting new fascist laws in the past few years. They are dangerous, their ideology is dangerous, and their speech is used as a weapon to harm people. I’m not running away, I’m saying any “stadium” owner can and should be expected to ban such assholes from the premises. As the saying goes, if a bar owner lets Nazis congregate in the corner of their bar, it’s a Nazi bar. “Not all Germans” physically committed a genocide, but all of them tolerated or endorsed Nazism to the point of allowing it to happen. When good people see evil rising, they get involved and disrupt it, they don’t stay quiet and let it grow.
Nah this is not how moderation works on the fediverse. If you defederate from Nazi instances, Nazis have an incentive to go to those instances instead of yours - namely because they can’t interact with Nazi content. They can still harass your users of course, but they can’t build a platform and get banned quickly. So on the Fediverse you end up with a lot of Nazis on only a few servers, and everyone just bans those servers. Same goes for pedos, TERFs, etc.
This makes it a LOT easier as an instance admin to moderate content and keep users safe. As a Masto admin, I only get about 10 reports a week because I block about 200-300 servers. It also incentivizes me and my other fellow admins to block that kind of content, because if we don’t, Nazis will come to our servers and we risk being defederated from.
It isn’t “running away”, its preferring to go to bars where the bouncer will reliably throw nazis out. If these bouncers didn’t toss a nazi, I’d find a bar where they would.
You mean like what happens when you join any of these far-right platforms and post something with any sort of common sense or reasoning? These people don’t give a shit about free speech. They want to spread their hate and influence and “muh free speech” is the crutch they use to convince people like you to defend them.
Guess what? Even after they’re banned they still have freedom of speech! Nobody broke into their house and cut out their tongues. Free speech does not equal a free platform.

I don’t think they’re real. Pet theory, they’re actually bigtech henchmen here to fuck shit up so competitors get poisoned and die.
The answer is a more sophisticated user led moderation system that can wipe them off Lemmy like bugs on the windshield. Use wipers, not nuclear bombs.

Don’t be surprised when you or one of your friend gets thrown out as well
