I'm not sure what's happening in this thread, but

1.
you can't redirect example.com/ to example.com because browser is
already doing that (making request for example.com/ while showing just
example.com in address bar)


2.
to remove end slash for everything else by redirect, just use this

location ~ ^(.+)/+$ { return 301 $1; }
