Sure, I agree with nearly everything you said.

Except that on a German instance you must abide German laws. If it were a Belgian instance, Belgian laws would have to be followed. You can call anyone and anything a nazi outside of instances hosted by Germans.

For similar reasons, calls for the death of billionaires are removed on lemmy.world because that violates laws where that instance is hosted.

The Radbruch formula is not bullshit though, as it explicitly defines when disobedience of laws is mandatory. Slightly infringing on freedom of speech is not a valid reason, as it doesn't violate fundamental rights that cannot ever be restricted by laws - most notably the freedom to live and being free of bodily harm.
