Alternative for Germany candidate Tim Lochner was elected mayor of Pirna on Sunday, a symbolic victory for the far-right party. The question of a possible ban on the movement is entering public debate.

@TheEuropeanNetwork I am not an AfD supporter - but I am astounded that the German Govt thinks that the appropriate response to a political group whose policies they don't like is to - ban it.
Whoever would have thought? What next, book-burnings? #Germany #fascism

Admin of QOTO here... Your response is not just non-nonsensical it is uncalled for.

Their stance is that political opinion shouldn't be banned, in other words, people have a right to free speech. To assume that makes them a Nazi just because they feel their free speech principle should be unconditional is unfair, inflammatory, and frankly immature.

Do better, this is not the sort of behavior QOTO is about.

> then, if it's not, it should be

If you think immature, accusatory, nonsensical trolling is what QOTO should be about, then start your own instance

> anyway there are many other instances

Indeed there are, and while I had no intention of taking any moderator action this early on, considering your attitude, you would be doing us all a favor to move to one of the ones that matches your level of toxicity, so yes, thank, if you move to another one that would be great.
