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?

Another is shaping the norms of a community and what is acceptable.

This is incorrect. The community shapes itself. The community is lovely. We are not it's shapers.

You've been here about as long as the instance has existed. In the almost three years we've been at this, have you ever seen us shaping discussion? Who the hell am I to dictate to everyone what the norm is, anyway? I'm just some guy on the Internet.

I was reluctant to remove a reported post on /c/worldnews the other day, despite it being in clear violation of the sidebar rules.

One neat thing about Lemmy is moderation is all transparent. The modlog is just down there on the bottom of every page. You'll see that just about all the accounts I ban are for spam with a smattering of troll accounts. We are accountable to the users and not some secret group manipulating discussion out of sight.
