r/The_Donald now on Lemmy - Lemmy Online

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] [/c/[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: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

    I don’t know but it seems that this particular community didn’t exist until the dust-up regarding explodingheads and the discussions that have occurred afterward, including the Agora vote.

    So, to me it seems that it was started in retaliation to that particular discussion/event.

    The active user at the core continually changes their display name, making it more difficult to know that you’re replying to the same person unless you’re checking the account, as they only mod the one community.

    That alone makes it bad faith or trolling, however you want to phrase it, and it seems both the user and the community are at odds with the overall environment that many users came to this instance for.

    I think it actively hampers the conversation we were having with beehaw regarding refederation, and don’t disagree with their observation in the matter.

    Yes, we as users can block them. And?

    Call it growing pains call it whatever you’d like but I think that ignoring the larger context behind why it’s here and here now is missing the point of why “just block it as a user” isn’t the ideal solution.

      That’s really interesting about the changing display name thing, and given when the community showed up, yeah that seems to be bad faith or trolling. Yeah I think I’m in favor of banning them for that.

        I think I’ve seen at least six different user names depending on the thread, including Agora threads.

        It’s absolutely all done in bad faith.

      The way it should work imo is that users report them, and if they’re a moderator, that goes to the admin of the instance, who then makes a call whether to ban the user and/or community.

      Don’t defederate because someone made a stupid community, report and work through the moderation system.
