I’m suing them for defamation for saying that

Not actually suing, that would require discovery which would lead to losing and more importantly forcing them to disclose their moderation policies. It's just an empty threat to sue so nazi sympathizers can point to it and "see they don't allow nazi's."

I kinda wish those groups would just pull an Uno Reverse and actually sue ElMu for defamation just to trigger the discovery process.

Though, I'm fairly certain it doesn't work that way. But given how pants on head the rest of the court system is, I also wouldn't be surprised if it did.
