@AVincentInSpace It would be way more funny to just block you for this, but I'm gonna be nice this once:
The reason this works, besides fascists self selecting into being vocal about it, is because the kinds of people who are willing to quibble on a rule that says no fascists?
They're going to push on all of your rules. They will be an explicit drain on community management resources.
Frankly: letting rules lawyers overwhelm your community is a fast way to end up with a community with low trust and exhausted volunteers.

@pathunstrom @AVincentInSpace and now it's so easy to spot fascists, they don't hide anymore

@pathunstrom lol, you eased up on your own rule to be nice, and just a little bit down the page the person demonstrates that your rule was 100% spot on
