    I think the lemmy structure really annoys trolls and right-wingers. They could register on a server, but they would have to play by the rules (be nice, don’t be a nazi etc), which they really don’t want. So they want their own server, but quickly realize that they’ll be alone there with their miserable peers, which they also don’t like.

      I’m new to this federated thing, what prevents the nazi from hosting his own Lemmy instance where being a nazi is ok, and the content from the nazi instance showing up in “all”?

          That’s the beauty of the fediverse - your server has disgusting content, you get deplatformed/defederated.

              What disgusting content do people want here, and why should we care?

                oh sorry I meant right-wingers don’t like it. I meant to be funny, but apparently failed…

                  Gotcha. Sorry, I’m just used to right-wingers inserting vile comments into Reddit threads so my humor meter may be miscalibrated.

                    I can’t be the only one half expecting some maximum rage comment reply to appear at any given moment.

                    I’m really looking forward to see how this community feels over time, without the ad-driven rage-promoting algorithms. Hopeful.

                    No you’re right, this will probably happen here one day too. Big instance will have problems with moderation I fear.

      No fun being a bully when it’s nothing but other bullies around I guess.
