On Lemmy can we use the NA word or do we get banned ? Not going to type it out because I do not want to get banned.

The “NA” word is nazi apparently, fyi to everyone else confused
- I enjoy how the OP is not trying to say it and then this post is just like:
  
  nazi
- well hopefully you don't get banned because on Reddit you will get banned from wich I came from
  
  are you 12?
North American?

Seriously though I don’t know what NA is supposed to mean.

I know the N word in reference to black people.
- I thought they were saying "Non Applicable.
- I meant for it to describe a fascist government that only want blonde hair and blue eyes.
  
  Life pro tip: If a community would ban you for using the word Nazi (assuming you're not being an asshole), make them ban you.
Thou art very much testing the limits of the spirit of this community.
- Is there an only stupid questions community?
  
  I would LOVE that community. I would ask questions like
  
  "If the silverware in Beauty and the Beast is alive, do they get pleasure from being stabbed into a delicious piece of meat, and then stuffed into a persons mouth, only to be licked by their tongue? Does the teapot feel light headed if you pour out too much tea?"
  
  Smoky fires want flame and heateth. J'rk the c'rd, and out tumbles the gold
- Well I can't mention it one games or any MMORPG that i've seen talking about the Holocaust/
  
  Thee shouldst not ref'r to oth'r us'rs as nazis but t is not a f'rbidden w'rd h're.
Depends on context?

Nazi isnt a word that is banned on its own typically.

Accusing someone of being a Nazi? Probably should be banned for that, unless you have actual evidence of the person youre accusing endorsing the specific policies of Nazis. Throwing that word around just to describe anyone you disagree with or doesn't agree with you is quite frankly incredibly disrespectful to the people who had to suffer at the hands of actual Nazis, whether they are still alive or not. It cheapens the word.

Speaking in a historical context? Definitely shouldn't be banned for that.

At the end of the day, it depends on the moderators of the instance and community. There is no guarantee anything you say or do online will prevent you from being banned. Even if you follow the rules.
- Thank you.
  
  Only sensible person in this thread. My lord. They throw that word around like confetti. Fucking children.
  
  Yeah, just because they're waving swastika flags and trying to deport or kill all the non-whites doesn't mean they're Nazis
Using the word should be fine, endorsing the ideology is a different story.
- Just out of curiosity who do you know I won't get banned like reddit did me?
  
  You don't. If people didn't ever get banned here, this place would be overrun by nazis in no time.
  
  If you do feel the need to call someone a nazi, then maybe just don't, though. Report them, if they're violating the rules. If they don't, then either ignore them or feel free to engage in a discussion on the part you take issue with, without assuming they're a nazi. Vilifying people is actively bad for convincing them to change their ways, and it's a part of the Reddit culture which unfortunately made its way over here, too.
Not Applicable? Why couldn't you
