Hi guys,

Do you think we should have a mega thread (maybe even a locked one if that’s an option) explaining why each specific instance is blocked from this instance?

Just to give some clarity.

    They’re tankies lol, they’re genocide deniers. It’s not really a matter of “I don’t agree with them” it’s “these people are awful”, and I don’t want them to come in here to “debate”. They’re not nazis, but they’re in the same vein. Just from scrolling All/new, I randomly got a post about how “North Korea is actually doing great and all the defectors are lying”.

    I’m not a mod, I have no authority, and I don’t decide at the end of the day.

      yeah it’s so vile to see genocide denial right on the front page, lemmy.ml is the number 1 reason i’ve seen folks (understandably) deterred from even giving lemmy/fediverse a shot.

        yeah even just looking at some post on asklemmy there was just a random “I don’t want to see liberals on lemmy, it was made by communists for communists”, which… eugh.

      Sounds reasonable! And if somebody doesn’t agree, can either create an account under a particular instance.

      Still, I believe in the spirit of transparency, it should be widely declared and known why specific instance got defederated.
