No problem. It's worth checking what rw has said about its history. https://robek.world/featured/what-is-gnu-social-and-is-mastodon-social-a-twitter-clone/

My impression is that aside from one or two, most of it isn't real. We're not really nazis here, people just like to shitpost images of it but don't hold to its philosophy at all. From what I've seen, some newcomers also like to test their boundaries, and then when they realise that we're not blocking them then they are surprised and grateful. Whether they remain is a different matter. I think a lot of shitposting is either for fun or a reaction to an event. Maybe both. Of course, often people become the 'other'/out-group, and then get labelled the worst someone can imagine like nazis... and dilute the meaning of that. It's one of my problems with it.
