I think it's important to downvote them and even make them feel unwelcome. You can't let Nazis and white supremacists in your communities because any community that doesn't kick out Nazis will eventually find itself overrun by Nazis fleeing communities that kick them out.
You don't need to argue or make a fuss, but make sure to downvote anyone who doesn't believe all people are born equal and that people have a right to choose what to do and who to love.
People downvote me all the time and I just think "well they're wrong, I've laid out my argument and they can't refute it". So I imagine Nazis feel the same way when you downvote them.
Edit: case in point
Maybe,,, I dunno.... some self reflection to understand WHY people downvote you all the time, might improve something about you?
I just scrolled my post history and picked an example. Like why is this downvoted? It's literally just an answer to OP on how to do what they want https://lemmy.ml/comment/18043111
You have roughly the same amount of downvotes as OP, based on context folks were probably reflexively downvoting because it’s an AI discussion.
