[GRLC] (^._.^)ノ :neocat_flag_sapphic: (novenary@akko.wtf)'s status on Friday, 13-Jun-2025 00:25:20 JST
[GRLC] (^._.^)ノ :neocat_flag_sapphic:so just to add some information which is missing from this thread, which I boosted earlier today without checking what it actually looks like on the website
I now believe that this whole thing is misleading
it doesn't really seem like 9front is or ever was a fascist project, the community rather seems pretty left-aligned with a somewhat puzzling sense of humor
allegedly, mein kampf was put in so it could be removed rather than as an endorsement, which is a pretty weird way to make a statement
https://mastodon.social/@CyReVolt/114664679728525590
the FQA seems to corroborate this in "Why did 9front stop making fun of Nazis?"
https://fqa.9front.org/fqa1.html#1.3.0.1
there are more examples of such crude humor that have since been removed, such as an image comparing ruby on rails to auschwitz
evidently they still seem to be doing some of it as seen in the current release poster and "back cover" which are at https://9front.org/releases/2025/04/26/0/
that aside, the collection of banners at the bottom of the homepage is pretty clearly leftist, if still very strange (see the combination of the USA and Ukrainian flags), even their favicon is the progress flag
so is 9front run by weirdos? yeah, definitely
but are they nazis? eh, not really
