The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm all for it, but what kicked it off?
Every time I walk past that stretch near Pike and 3rd in Seattle, right over that bit of concrete where the nazi got laid the fuck out, I punch the air. Every time.
Damn, that's where it happened?? I fucking bike right past that!!

Hell yeah, awesome 😂

Not as satisfying as a nazi, but still very good

Imgurians are an odd bunch but I'm glad they're anti Nazi.
No wonder. Some rich guy must have got very upset. Strange though, plenty of people get punched all the time, and there are plenty more GIFs people getting punched. Banning specifically the Nazi guy getting punched isn't good PR I think...

It is always okay to punch Nazis. You don't need a reason. (serious answer though: I have no idea what kicked it off, my comment still stands though, it's always okay to punch Nazis.)
The rise in nazis thinking they are acceptable
Nazis and other supremists are the reason intolerance needs to exist.
The social contract of tolerance doesn't extend to those who are intolerant. They are outside the protection of Tolerant Society's protection, and the Tolerant are free (and, in fact, strongly encouraged) not to tolerate them, because they aren't covered.

The only reason any of these people have power is because we, as a society, continue to use their shit... Get the fuck off Twitter, get the fuck off Reddit, get the fuck off Facebook. Make those companies worthless by not using them it's literally so easy. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here but God damn it's literally so easy, just read a book. Touch some grass. We weren't ready for the internet and it's time to turn it off.
I'm really waiting for this idea to catch on. I got online in the late 80s to get away from normies and their boring, repetitive normie mind-viruses. Back then it was just nerds talking to other nerds. Nowadays you can't even talk to your friends here. This whole thing is for people to get angry about politics and buy products. The sooner all these people leave, the sooner we can get back to what originally brought us here.
Hopefully soon, going on social media will be seen as a bad antisocial habit like smoking.

So I infrequently use Imgur and basically a user got banned for saying 'kill all nazis' and another user's post got taken down that had anti-nazi rhetoric. This is the most recent of a few scenarios where the mods have been seen as incompetent or overall shitty and so the community revolts. Honestly kinda dig it, at least they can coordinate and show a unified front....granted it's slacktivism to a point but it gets people's attention? Idk how I feel about it honestly.

It still surprises me that people use Imgur as a social media site. Imgur to me is a place that hosts image to be used on other social media sites. Using imgur as a social media site is like using a url shortener as a social media site. What's next, Captcha becomes a social media hangout?

Just because I have a Nazi tattoo and go to Nazi rallies and think ALL Jews and Minorities should die DOESNT make Me a NAZI! In FACT it makes YOU a Nazi!
-Republicans!
The amount of people making excuses for Nazis in this thread, is disgusting. Get fucked Nazi sympathizers. 🖕
Who?
Idk, man, but its a statement that gets you upvotes.

Imgur has pissed me off long enough that I decided to roll my own this summer. When all I need is a place to store stuff for easy linking, building a web frontend is pretty trivial.
Plus I'm not limited to whatever file type and size imgur decides.
And guess what, my site condones punching Nazis:
And it all comes full circle
(For those who don't know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)

A lot of reddit users, especially those who have recently been permabanned due to the great censorship purge, are just hanging out there now. Not much censorship.
It's super antifa. I scroll there a lot when I'm in a meme mood.
I'd say it started going hard political around the same time as everything else. February 2025.
Yep I split my time between Lemmy and Imgur to fill the void after leaving reddit, cause Lemmy alone unfortunately isn't enough to show you everything there was to see on reddit.
That said, be warned that it's corporate owners have no problems with collecting as much data as they can off your phone and selling it to anyone who's buying. Just look at this shit:
So if you do decide to go there, do yourself a favor and wear a condom. Install DuckDuckGo and enable "app tracking protection", and get a DNS-level adblocker on your phone as well. AdGuard or NextDNS are both fine choices.

I don't know, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say some Nazis pissed some people off... As they do.
