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.

On top of that, I think we should be clear about what we don't like. Right wing isn't itself evil, but low rung right wing ideology will send us back to the dark ages. As would low rung left wing ideology. We must strive to be better, entertaining only high rung ideas in conversation, in order to elevate our collective understanding

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

what are some right wing instances?

truth social

there are right wing instances?
-
The fact that you don't know about them says the system is working.
-
I'm not entirely shocked. They get kicked off mainstream sites regularly, they need somewhere for their echo chamber to exist.

-
Ah, so hilarious chaos IS a right wing instance?
-
The first "couple"? I see the porn subs that we defederate because the admin doesn't want to risk legal liability. There's the one tanky instance that they defederated before later deciding not to defederate tanky instances. There's the spam Reddit resharing instance. There's the two instances mentioned in this LW post, which seems to indicate it's about illegal content, not political alignment. That just leaves exploding heads, which was right-wing, but gave up hosting at all after everyone defedded them, and hilariouschaos.com. That one, I don't know, so I'll take your word that it's right-wing. But that only leaves one, not a couple.

I couldn't take it anymore. I've had this alt for so many days now. I just got banned from a bunch of heir drumpfkins fluffer conservative communities today. I needed some entertainment to lift my spirits.
I watched a documentary about their ancestors while I commented freely. It's called Deliverance. You should check it out.

HilariousChaos’s conservative community is a safe space for thin skinned snowflakes you’re not missing much.
-
Oh I know. I've been fucking with them for a while now. On various alts. Just some days you know...

You got a purdy mouth

The fastest block in the west 🤠

How about having to hug a relative with a right wing shirt?
-
"ha ha funny shirt! But can you imagine people BELIEVE that lie?!? Classic Uncle Morty!"
-
Wouldn't happen because I cut those people out of my life.
-
I'd jump in acid.

I do think anyone on Lemmy is probably smarter than anyone on Reddit. I was browsing a conservative sub today and while they were very few comments, most of them disagreed with the general direction of the Trump administration.
-
I don't think user intelligence has as much to to with it as foreign interference and astroturfing campaigns, since its a larger platform
-
r/conservative is also notorious for shadow banning and banning anyone who expresses wrongthink. They've only got a few hundred real posters left. Everyone else is a bot or paid troll.
-
And the bots. Don’t forget the bots.
-
-
at least there are some of them here, i havent seen them yet whatsoever
(I even feel like its way more progressive but also more "radical/chaotics" here and there since the communities are still more niche and therefore weighting feels off)
would love to read some "frustration" every now and then to see how my facebook grandparents would argue for example, lol

Because obduration is just a much less useful school than evocation.
-
I'm a centrist. Am I allowed anywhere in this cruel world?
Edit- What's the downvotes for?
-
With the rest of the performers.
-
"I only oppress people when they deseve it."
-
Well I don't deserve 6 downvotes 💢
