Flagging posts as nazi and letting users choose to unhide nazi flagged posts is better. Twitter has a NSFW flag and lets users view NSFW with a setting.

What does flagging someone a Nazi mean? Who decides what is Nazism? If I don't like you because you put your left shoe on before your right shoe can I flag you as Nazi and does that filter them propagate throughout the whole system, so now no one can see your filthy left-shoe-first posts?

Anyone can flag someone a Nazi. The user decides if they trust the flagger. If the flagger false flags, users can ignore the false flagger’s flags.
