Any community that welcomes bigots is truly welcoming only to bigots.
Any civility rule that is enforced with greater priority than (or in the absence of) a “no bigotry” rule serves only to protect bigots from decent people.
Bigots already have too many places where they are welcome and protected. I’m glad that lemmy (with the exception of certain instances that are largely defederated) has not fallen into the trap that defines too much of social media.
