STOP RACISM AND LEAVE LAST FM

You take the nazis here too serious.

Rather make some jokes about them or spam their profiles with some crap than just running away. I don't think that's a solution.

Dont take them too serious.
Most of them are bored kids or unemployed idiots with too much free time.

No thanks. I'm quite fond of my scrobbles.

This idea has a natural progression that is frightening... leave last.fm to the Nazis? It sounds like it would give them more power... I'm not sure I see this effect that you are talking about. It looks to me like the leading artists are Radiohead, Muse, Metallica, Coldplay, Nirvana, and such popular, if not particularly good groups... I was not aware that any of these were Neo-Nazi groups... just popular. I agree with AllyWonderland on this completely on this issue.

Deleting my scrobbles? - I doubt anyone at Last.Fm would give a fuck about it... and hell, I've spend years to reach my amount of scrobbled songs.
Deleting my music from Last.FM? - I doubt that would interrest much people, as I'm just an unknown indie artist.
Deleting myself from Last.Fm? - Are you nuts? I've met some very nice people here. This is better that MySpace and all the other censored PC Web 2.0 thingies. No way.
Grew up. Boycott or censorship isn't changing anything. If you run into some nazis then try to have an argument with them. Thats the only way to change their minds if you have good arguments. If you don't have good arguments, then better leave them alone. They aren't in a majority and seem quiet peacefull here on Last.FM.

I've had my share of "discussions" with the OP of this thread, and I think he is long gone from these parts. So, really, I probably wouldn't pay much more attention to this post or poster, since this "campaign" is quite a bit in the past.

Since we are not here to follow orders and no one in the group is possitive about this old tread: can somebody close it? It's capital letters are disturbing me every time I search throug the treads! Thank you.

With our presence will be less presence % of fucking shit nazis.

Actually CBS does have a right to ban Nazi's from their site completely. All they have to do is say that they will not tolerate nazi behaviors and that they are not offering free nazi radio as part of their services. It IS their website, they can do as they please. Technically, it wouldn't be discrimination because they would only be banning the actions and behaviors. A nazi could secretly have a last fm if they didn't make a fuss. By participating in the site, which is basically a wikified music recommendation engine, we are moderating the site for CBS. CBS can ban volunteers that are not moderating in a way that matches with their standards. To say that banning them for perpetrating racism is discrimination is like saying that banning people for breaking any other rule is discrimination.

If you look at this website like a bathroom, my proposition goes like this. The nazis can use this bathroom as much as they want as long as they don't leave the seats up. The point where they get kicked out, is when they start posting pages of mein kampf on the bulletin board even though we told them not to.

We all have the right to our own opinions, but CBS doesn't owe us their megaphone.

All that being said, this guy is crazy. There is no way everyone on Lastfm would participate in the boycott and all he would succeed in is making the neofolk scene completely nazi. Which I am beginning to suspect is his real plan, though that theory is unsubstantiated. Anyway, this is a distraction from the purpose of this group, to improve the image of neofolk in the eyes of the world.

ITT some fool wants to give the Nazis on last.fm more power
