Hot take (?):
It's fantastic that there is a branch of MAGA who hates the corporate Internet as much as we do.
They hate it because the corpos aren't bending the knee ENOUGH to dear leader
The enemy of my enemy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think that applies if the enemy of your enemy is a Nazi/Nazi sympathizer
But the enemy is also a nazi
In Man in the High Castle, the resistance had to help a nazi officer stay alive in order to stop an even worse nazi from nuking the entire world.
spoiler
Basically, someone did a coup against hitler and the successor accused Imperial Japan of killing hitler, and he wanted to start nuking Japanese-occupied territories, but the resistance helped coverup a scandal by the nazi-American John Smith in which he tried to coverup his son's illness to avoid the gestapo "euthanizing" him. Basically, they got John Smith to tricking the nazis to believing Imperial Japan also had nukes so that they back off, averting WW3. (Its an absurd plot, I know, but Man in the High Castle is worth watching tbh)And that's how you turn em! Find common ground and work from there.
Doubt you'll convert anyone over the internet. Its only when you meet in person, you can really have the human touch to it.

I mean unless you spend thousands of dollars on targeted ads in 2016 but that's totally different.
Also accepting imperfect allies is huge.
There's branches of conservatives who fled reddit long before we all did. But then they were all openly nazi too. Voat was one site and I forget what the other nazi reddit clone was called.
Instance owner is probably a nutjob tho
Yeah, and I dont give the instance long for the world.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Still should defed them immediately
Nor too hot or too salty. I'll have it.
Or they were too toxic for Reddit and were banned over there.
That's literally how Lemmy got its start - from people who left Reddit not so much by choice, as later waves did, but rather by being so toxic that even Reddit wouldn't put up with it.
