It’s relevant for me.

If you tweet or retweet Nazi propaganda or holocaust denial material and live here in Austria then you may be prosecuted. I’m not a super fan of these restrictions on free speech but I do note that I live in a place where there are a few and they are important to us here.

Edit: There is some amusing irony to being downvoted for this reply which only states my own personal interest in hearing some information from someone and doesn’t tell anyone else what to think ;)

Being downvoted is not equal to government prosecution. You can be told people don't like your opinion and just say so, compared to having police knock on your door over it. I don't agree with what the guy from the article is advocating, but I do agree that he should not be prosecuted/arrested for what he did.

Was this actually Nazi propaganda? I think the meme is trying to say the trans community acts like Nazis and Nazis are bad.

I don’t really have enough info to make a fair judgment. I only wanted to provide my perspective that I personally do find the context the GP provided relevant to the story even if they don’t. Wasn’t an attack or being contrary or anything.

This clearly was not "Nazi propaganda". Calling your opponent a Nazi does not imply that Nazis are good. Quite the opposite, in fact.
