right-wing party


Extremist right-wing party. With substantial parts legally being called Nazis.

Even though nowhere in their rules it says anything about this even being any offence.

3: [...] Support for violent groups or events is prohibited.


Explains itself.

And which later turned out to be completely unsubstantial as many people suspected.


It's not. "Many people", aka. AfD supporters and the AfD themselves.

Oh, did he? He just stood there and claimed something. There was supposedly a great report with all the hard facts, but no one was allowed to see it. That's not much different from "Yes, I did my homework, but then she (sic) ate my dog."


(The original toot, translated from german)
Thing is, all contents were openly collected and sorted by 3rd parties already. The report is as relevant to anyone aware of any politics as the Principia Mathematica's Section 54.43 is for thinking humans in order to prove that 1+1=2. The only usefulness lies in AfD supporters being unable to deny the obvious.

These are quite some mental gymnastics going from my toot:

Oh, did he? He just stood there and claimed something. There was supposedly a great report with all the hard facts, but no one was allowed to see it. That’s not much different from “Yes, I did my homework, but then my dog ate it.”


(Correctly translated, btw.)

to:

Wow! Just wow! You should sign up as a moderator on mastodon.social. You'd fit right in.

If you want a more complete list, check the mentioned "secret report" in readable form here, or in original form (hand scanned from paper as to be expected by an official german government body in 2025): part A and part B. The original leaker article is actually largely hidden behind a paywall (cicero.de/innenpolitik/cicero-…). And it's 02:00 CET so i'm not gonna search for the original direct links to the files.

Edit: first link being an old version, other two links being the recent version. Both reports being relevant though.

Being a Nazi is not illegal. As no person themselve is illegal. Saying nazi stuff is illegal tho, so eg. Höcke (party leader) was sued for 13k€ for saying "alles für Deutschland"/"everything for germany"
in reply to Lucy :3

That slogan was originally coined in 1848 by King Ludwig I. But as with many things, the nazis severely tainted it. (Even though it was used by the socialist party after WWII, too.)

There’s a whole German Wikipedia article about this.

Agrivar doesn't like this.

Being limited isn't that big a deal. My instance has them limited because of their lax moderation and an excess of reply guys. All it means is that I get a notification saying "Someone you might know sent you a notification" and I get to review and accept or deny the notification depending. Plus they have to request permission to follow me so I get to check them out before accepting.

I still have tons of mutuals on .social and I get new ones all the time. While each person making the choice about whether to accept notifications or follows from a particular user is going to make their own choices, I don't think it's particularly inconvenient.

::: spoiler AfD sidebar
For their lack of adequate moderation capacity / interest, .social has one topic they tend to over-react to. AfD sympathizing isn't that one thing. Not to suggest they're right here. I'd need the thread context and a better understanding of German to weigh in on that. Moderators are human and they're going to make a bad call eventually. I'm not in a position to guess whether they made a bad call here. AfD aren't just some normal political party, though.
