nazis are not welcome here.

Wouldn’t you be mad if suddenly conservatives came on and said that same thing about left-leaning people?!

It's less about whether I'd feel mad, and more about how that materially affects our community. Left-leaning people are trying to make communities which allow all peoples (but not all ideas, like exterminating races and objectifying sexes), while plenty of conservatives (I don't think the word 'conservative' truly applies, but many identify as conservative) are trying to exclude peoples they consider undesirables. If you wanted, you can walk into an anarcho-communist or M-L organization and, as long as you don't offend them with any provoking symbols or offensive ideas, be welcomed. Not everyone can do the same in a reactionary community. So I don't think it's fair to equivocate anti-rightism with anti-leftism. (and, as a side note, if we want to talk about the rare ultra-liberalist ('Libertarian') free-speech everyone-welcome scenario, Lemmy already went through that with Wolfballs a few years back - their admin shut it down when they eventually realized they'd created a Nazi bar and that the WNs weren't just being dumb and offensive as a joke.)

Furthermore, in the context of Lemmy overall, it was created by communists who were leaving reddit to avoid what you described:

Would never say it’s something we should be trying for.
