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 !thedonald@sh.itjust.works 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 :)
the comment i responded to explicitly was about ignoring them or not having to see the content
ignoring that, if the one guy shitposting on TD will ‘seep into other communities’ literally just ban him
if you keep suggesting defederation every single time anyone on any instance acts like an asshole, you might as well defederate from every single instance including lemmy.ml permanently
My point is the issue at hand for people is an instance’s decision to host a community like The Donald. Being able to ignore them misses the point. A lot of people, possibly the majority, do not want the main Lemmy instances to platform a community like The Donald. They want a firm stance of not tolerating intolerant communities.
This isn’t a case of “some assholes.” It’s a case of not wanting /c/fascism type communities given platforms and connecting with instances.
