Gay people and nazis are two very different groups, so it's not like saying that at all actually.
I agree, and the point of my comment wasn't to suggest gay people and nazis are the same (or even similar), it was that the mere presence of something disagreeable doesn't mean the place is full of it.
Are you familiar with the nazi bar quote? I was referencing that phenomenon:
No, I wasn't familiar with that quote. Sokath, his eyes open. But nazis would not receive a friendly welcome here like in the bartender's hypothetical story, so the same outcome is so extraordinarily unlikely, the reference seems like the same level of overreaction I said it was.
It's not about voicing your disagreement, it's about removing nazis entirely. Their very presence degrades the quality of the platform. Twitter had plenty of people arguing with nazis, and it still sucked, because the nazis were still there.
