    There isn’t much a difference between the user base of one Nazi forum like 4chan and another Nazi forum like twitter. Just because you like one and dislike the other doesn’t mean they’re both shit sites with a user base full of Nazi scum

      Moderation and intent are big parts of the difference too.

      I don’t use 4chan but I gather that it’s a wild little corner of the internet where you can put whatever crazy shit you wish on a website that others will read, knowing what they signed up for. Basically anything goes so you get all types. You might even call it free speech absolutism.

      But Twitter is actively moderated and algorithm tuned to favor a certain flavor of bias and, especially given the players involved, propaganda.

      One is neutrality even in the face of humanity’s worst, and the other is actively siding with and promoting humanity’s worst.

        If you think 4chan is neutral and isn’t being manipulated with propaganda then I have a bridge to sell you.

                I’m sorry if I don’t see Nazis as human beings. That usually happens when they try to kill me and everyone that looks like me. Maybe you could hang out with a bunch of taliban, ISIS, and Nazi members and befriend them and see the goodness in them.
