“If you’ve ever hosted a potluck and none of the guests were spouting antisemitic and/or authoritarian talking points, congratulations! You’ve achieved what some of the most valuable companies in the world claim is impossible.”

There’s plenty of Nazis in the Fediverse, just not on any instances your instances are federated with.
Isn’t that kind of the point?
On the one hand yes, on the other hand that means the Fediverse is involuntarily providing those freaks their own Fedi-Truth-Social.
You’ll never be able to keep these people from talking to each other, but you can quarantine them in their own little circles where they cause as little damage as possible to the outside world.
Hopefully… Recent developments look more like they are using unmoderated social media to radicalize themselves and plan real shit.

How is this news?
It’s literally a blog post.
It appears the community isn’t exclusively for news.
The sidebar agrees with you:
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Corporations don’t aggressively moderate and ban Nazis on their platforms because it would measurably negative affect their MAU stats, which is one of the primary metrics social media corps report on how “good” (read: profitable) their social network platform is.
Meta et al. will NEVER intentionally remove users that push engagement numbers up (regardless of how or what topics are being engaged) unless:
- they determine it’s more profitable/less harmful to their business to do so
- they are forced to by a court order
