but even the mods have to maintain the facade of "fairness" from time to time.
lmao, post something antisemitic and racist, and then post ACAB, see what gets taken down first. If anything, this site is a safespace for fash and the far right, it's unbelievable there are still fash who can't even stay within the incredibly loose rules of this site.
I'd imagine it would be quite hard to express openly antisemitic or racist views without eventually running into trouble with the "no "all X are Y"" rule. Even a basic racist-type comment like "I believe black people to be inferior to white people" easily becomes, within a normal person's interpretation, "Black people, taken as a monolithic group, are inherently inferior to white people," or in other words, "all black people are <insert negative attribute>." (No, I don't actually believe black people to be inferior to white people; it's 100% an example used to make my point.)
As for the "ACAB" ("all cops are bastards") comment, the problem isn't necessarily that it's criticizing police. I haven't seen anything within rules that states you're not allowed to criticize police, or any other group for that matter. It's because, right down to the literal way it's stated, it's an "all X are Y". "Police brutality is an issue that should be addressed" =/= "all cops are bastards."
I would strongly disagree that this site is a safe space for fascists and far-rightists. I'm nowhere near either and anecdotally I feel a strong lean to the left in the NSG user base and even in some moderators' rulings. I tend to find that increasing extremism is correlated with shorter tenure on this site, as the radicals either find themselves unable to conduct themselves within the rules, or get bored and leave after being dogpiled against too much.
