No you actually bring up a very good point.

Especially considering when I initially argued that to the mod, it was in the context of Ukraine in now they allowed nafo and azov fascists sit side by side with people who were genuinely demanding a ceasefire.

I do agree there's more to moderation than flying a "no fascists allowed" banner. Mods in this server I had this spat in was part of a vaguely left leaning (mostly Americans) space.

I expected them to actually have the principles and integrity they self claim to have. But as you mentioned, they're actively cultivating an absolutely toxic brew of fascism while claiming in their server rules "no n*zi shit".

I actually had the misfortune of dealing with one personally in their server. Some nafo pfp hog, in a roundabout way, essentially Said "thacker pass ndns should just move so America can have the lithium, it's for the sake of progress"

Like imagine how pissed they would get if I said something similarly hurtful to Ukrainians...
