        Actual, genuine nazis were few and far in between back then. A more innocent time.

          The problem is that when you have a community of people pretending to be nazis, it makes it a lot easier for real nazis to show up.

          I mean, they literally coordinate shit like that on StormFront and whatnot

            That’s why we’re not anonymous here and not pretending to be nazis. Also, the actual bad shit did take a while to take over and push out the anarcho-creativity of the mid to late 2000s. In 2010, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic started and became the phenomenon it was, not least because of 4chan - that should tell you how many very decent people were still there. I genuinely think it’s sad that people only remember the later years of 4chan and I think adopting a bit of its original spirit could be good for Lemmy.
