Funny finding skinheads.social on that list there. Is federating automatic, requiring an opt-out to separate, or did an administrator see that name and go “yup, we want people to see skinhead content?”
If I understand it right, federation happens automatically when someone from a new instance interacts with the home instance, or someone from the home instance searches out the new instance.
It looks like that site might be running with the British use of “skinhead” and not the U$ use. It was a progressive punk/ska subculture before it became used as a white supremacist thing in the U$.
I haven’t looked at that instance but can corroborate that there are two very different groups called skinheads who’s philosophy’s are entirely incompatible with one another so it is always important to clear up which one you’re dealing with.
I don’t mean to repost a comment, but I’m looking for context. Are skinheads common in Germany? They seem to have a fascination with German culture over there.
In Europe we have red skins (leftists) and apolitical skins, so being a skinhead is not equivalent to being a nazi (although we also have naziskins unfortunately)
Are skinheads common in Germany? I checked out their instance the other day and found them speaking quite a bit about German culture. Now I’m not saying all Germans are nazis by any stretch, but nazis do have a fascination with Germany.

Federation is automatic unless your instance is using a whitelist setup.

It looks like the “S” key on your keyboard is broken.
I use “s” in that comment.
