We’re closing this thread. Everything that could be said has been said. Thank you
Original Post:
Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from https://exploding-heads.com/. We understand that defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to vulnerable communities.
After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts, and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot, in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes hate, racism, and bullying.
Examples:
https://lemmy.world/post/577526 - Community Moderator Harassment
https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725 - Community Moderator Post
Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a case-by-case bases.
As for our community, please refrain from posting or commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments violating our server rules.
Lemmy Code of Conduct

Citizen Code of Conduct https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md

The definition of intolerance changes with time. And in time you too may find yourself defined as intollerant
It’s actually suprisingly easy for most people to not be a piece of shit.
Pfft come on, you know how difficult it is. We’ve all been there, sitting at a blank comment section, debating what we can say that would add to the conversation, and then bam, out of nowhere, you just start uncontrollably spewing antisemitism. That’s definitely how it works…

Honestly, I’m very happy to find the enlightened centrists here in this thread, it allows me to block them so I don’t have to listen to “both sides are just as bad” or “this is against the spirit of free speech”.
Excellent move by lemmy.world, very happy to be here.
Not for you apparently, I mean you’re not even trying to hide your power trip
And what power would that be? I’m equal to all other users of this instance.
and? so? Do you think thats a good argument against limits? If i was born to a different era, i might have supported slavery. Now we know its wrong. If i still supported slavery, that would be a bad thing.
Life is about growth.
Let’s say that was the case. Do you think you would just wake up one day and be anti-slavery all of a sudden? Or, is it far more likely you were brought to that position by debating the issue with other people and finding their arguments convincing?
People also change with time. Ideally we’ll get better at tolerating the tolerable and rejecting the previously tolerable.
Word salad!
