I don’t think that’s the point either, he said if they were Nazis but didn’t talk about it, he wouldn’t ban them, makes perfect sense because if someone isn’t talking about who they are on your Discord server, why would you ban them based on something you don’t care about (who they are, their ideology, their beliefs… etc), everyone is in there for the code (supposedly), but it seems the Vaxry is right, the person he’s talking to, is the extremist one, and I just hate it when someone goes to open source devs to virtue signal only to ger butthurt even more
Internet really hates talented people I tell you that…

Tolerating them is a form of support. They make spaces unsafe for others.

I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.
