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.

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.

@ItaDude

Well thanks for showing everyone your a fascist PoS while on your way out by explicitly expressing prejudice against a person because of the country/race they are born into.

You know who did that a lot? The Nazis.

Stop wasting your time talking to me and go find yourself that new instance you were just bragging about.

Due to racism (attacking someone for circumstances of their birth) your account is now frozen and you will no longer be allowed to use this site. Good bye.
