I doubt that Twitter's policy is very nazi-friendly either.

  Depends. You can take free speech very seriously and hence not want to ban Nazis. For example the ACLU went to the US Supreme Court to support the National Socialist Party of America to march in USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_America_v._Village_of_Skokie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_Am...

    Not every country is the United States of America, and freedom of speech is not exclusively defined by amendments to an American constitution. You can ban the nazi symbols & language and still have freedom of speech.

      I'm pretty sure that "banning Nazi's" is a catch all phrase meaning banning anyone whose opinions we do not agree with above a certain level / token candidates. Twitter has a pretty well rounded TOS and they tend to go out of their way to block/ban people even when they haven't violated the TOS/CoC when there is sufficient pressure. That said I don't understand why people want to turn their social networks to echo chambers, if you only having discussions that do not make you feel uncomfortable or challenge your views you often do not hold discussions worth having.

        not every discussion about topic X needs interjections about topic Y.

        > I'm pretty sure that "banning Nazi's" is a catch all phrase meaning banning anyone whose opinions we do not agree with above a certain level / token candidates. The mastodon.social terms ban this stuff: > - Content illegal in Germany and/or France, such as holocaust denial or Nazi symbolism > - Conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism So, er, literally "Nazis", not just "things I don't like"
