there are a lot of things i could say about that, but i think the most important is this: behind every screen and every post is a human being with human emotions. nazi meme spammers make themselves unpleasant to talk to for a lot of reasons; fear, especially of rejection, as a way to test who is "in" or "out, etc. if you spend the time to talk to them and treat them like a human, you will often be surprised by what you find. if you treat them like garbage, you will only get garbage back. and if you filter them, you deny yourself and others the opportunity to learn and grow from each other. having to engage with those elements is what allows us to actually be human on gnusocial. recreating the twitter filter bubble here will just repeat the cycle.
