Are users who openly parrot literal Nazi talking points allowed here? (aussie.zone)

A few days ago I came across a comment in one of this Instance's Communities made by a user of this Instance, which very directly parroted Nazi talking points. Not in a way that was satirising Nazis, but which was endorsing their type of supremacist worldview.

Other comments in that thread noted that the user in question has a history of unironically endorsing a foreign genocidal regime and its actions.

I tried reporting the comment in question, but as of today the comment still stands and the user who made the comment has been as active as ever.

Is this Instance ok with Nazis?

I don't see this as, as much of an acceptance of Nazis problem than a lack of moderator problem. There is one active moderator for that community, that moderator also happens to be a rather busy bloody bee, seeing as they are the AZ admin/owner, and they've stated their personal life business before.

This is a problem I'm actively concerned about with communities I moderate. I advocate for more moderators per community, and to ensure those moderators are still somewhat active.

If @lodion@aussie.zone wants help with moderation I can jump on board with the community in question.

I'd also advocate lodion inviting by P.M. another one or two people to help out with moderation as well. Because many hands = light work. And a bank of moderators could help smooth things when issues such as inactivity of mod accounts arise.

I get every report about every community on the instance, even if I'm not listed on the Community. They come as notifications to my phone. It's pretty rare for any report to take longer than an hour or so to be looked at.

Yeah, i realised the admin angle I'd overlooked after I posted this and saw you'd responded this arvo as well.
