Some moderation isn't censorship, but most is.

Mostly only illegal content should be removed.

And that's how you end up with a Nazi bar. Sure a swastica tattoo isn't illegal; nor is saying death to jews. But most people don't want to drink in that environment so if you don't kick (censor) the nazi's out then your business will not get non-nazi patronage (and maybe go under). The "free market" has determined that censorship is desired.

The entire purpose of the article is to refute this exact argument.

Eh, kind of. The distinction between moderation and censorship he uses doesn't really exist in a physical space. You can't set a flag in your profile to not see Nazis at the next table in the bar. Also, he explicitly avoids the topic of whether Nazis should be censored so they can't spread harmful ideas rather than just because they're unpleasant to be around, which is also applicable to the bar situation even if GP didn't explicitly cite it.

Nazi is a such an overused label that it is bordering hilarious. My personal experience shows that people wearing swastika tattoos are no more dangerous than those dressed openly LGBTQ+.

Evil is more nuanced and resourceful than that.

Is it possible that you're not in the groups that Nazis tend to discriminate against, and thus their behavior towards you doesn't feel dangerous?
