It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.
In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.
The instance-admin of [email protected] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.
The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.
Where are the instances that show face against racism?
edit: to contact the admins: @donut @TheDude @smorks
edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)
Leave it to Redditors to be OK with everything turning into a Nazi bar.
Dude, it is one community with a whopping 9 subscribers and every single post is sitting at negative.
Y’all need to calm down.
Have you read the linked story? Because it stands exactly counter to what you are saying.
I am aware of the story.
Preemptively defederating an instance over a single community, with only one active poster is extreme and lacks any nuance.
Also, if you look through the posts. The instance is ‘throwing them out of the bar’ anyways, each post is getting obliterated. Which, I find funny as fuck.

Fun fact, being SA as a man means you get all the treatment of being gay and none of the support.
Don’t ask how I know.

No it’s not that. Lots of us never interacted with that sub. Just block them no need to defederate a while instance
If the instance won’t kill the sub, the members of the sub will take over that instance.
I’m seeing some people testing the waters of some subs to see what they can get away with.
so because the donald was on reddit, the entire reddit community was taken over?
At the height of it, yes. It filled up the front page every single day and made the site absolutely reek.
It’s what made me stop browsing /r/all, drop off most default subs, and stick to only my subscribed subs. Brigading and spamming is the whole point.
That must have sucked, did you just not think about blocking the sub at the time? Oh you are saying they were posting donald stuff in default subs too?

I ended up getting banned from the donald during its rise. All i did was provide info refuting someones clames…
Ended up just blocking the sub. So its possible i missed the whole rise and fall part.
Maybe not “taken over” per se, but they definitely didn’t confine to just their own community
E: Guess it was worst than I thought, I had blocked the subreddit fairly early on.
It had a massive impact on the “culture” of the website and would have kept spreading quite effectively if the admins weren’t pressured to quarantine it for PR reasons.
Users need the ability to block entire instances. Problem solved.
a better analogy is dropping the whole town the nazi bar is in
Yes, the vast universe of Lemmy is like a fucking bar lmao. Great analogy
