    How are they better? To me both are like cancer, perhaps brain vs heart tumor, pretty much just as bad.

      Communism has noble goals, even if the tankies advocate self-defeating ways of achieving these goals. I’m not aware of any noble goals behind Nazism or any kind of fascism. That, to me, puts even the most infuriating tankie above any Nazi.

      Unlike tankies, Nazis actually do things in real life, beyond socializing in their niche internet forums

      Lemmy’s federated structure makes it easy to block the instances which don’t moderate the nazis or tankies or anything else away to your satisfaction, while Substack is a centralized platform which has chosen to not only allow, but actively encourage and reward its nazis.

      So, any such problem on Lemmy is “better” because we can all (as individual users, and/or collectively as instances) deal with it as we like instead of bowing to Substack’s decision to be a nazi bar for all its users.
