There are a few denialist of israeli war crimes voices on LW that I instantly blocked, but it’s been far less of a problem than a constant barrage of tankies from ML. I have a 45 account long blocklist mostly filled with ML accounts.
As you may have noticed, I’m on Blahaj, which federates with ML. But when someone wrote a post saying they couldn’t deal with the tankies anymore, I suggested they try Lemmy.cafe, which is not federated with ML.
I’ve never heard of exploding heads or seen them before?
From what I vaguely remember there was a problem with a far right instance a year ago then everyone defederated with it and it died? Is that exploding heads?
Pretty sure they wouldn’t allow that kind of content, but since cafe was a tiny instance (and still is rather small) back then, perhaps it was never even requested or a problem for them.
I wouldn’t assume they supported ExplodingHeads just because they didn’t block it. Just like I don’t assume mander.xyz is a radical uyghur genicide denialist because they federate with hexbear.
Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it’s run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.
There’s a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.
Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it’s not a problem.
TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.
and thats ok, but silence is better option rather promotes one, who is blocking them and allow EH and worse.
and to be coherent, you should block the rights equivalent, or bitching on them too.
I have no clue what EH is and what you’re talking about.
I block anyone who denies genocides and war crime.
then you are not concerned,
Im tired of the tendency, on lemmy, who is assimilating all “leftists” to the MarxismLeninism,
Not every leftist isnt an imperialst
and ok, block them, but dont you should block racists and other too ?
What about a lot of people on LW, who are arguing against palestine, and for Israel ?
Is there an genocide who can be defended and the other not ?
Because, on ML or others they defend one, but on LW, they defend an another.
For me thats the same,
Any genocide shouldnt happen,

an instance who is federating with worse, like exploding-heads, EH, is pro trumpist, far rights, pro genocide,
come on, before advise, take a look.
Thats a clear message to block ML, and not the others kind of stuff …
And they are federate with worse than Exploding-heads, thats pretty a thing…
Dont you see a problem here ?

thats them,
Even they are not online actually, they appears on the federated, and not blocked one, on lemmy.cafe,
For me, thats an issue, and a no go,
hmm. that doesnt sound great. I’ll tag the admin @[email protected].
