I’ve not heard of it before but a problematic lemmy user who got banned multiple times for sinophobia and other bigotry/harassment has became a mod of a Political Compass Memes sub on there (they haven’t it’s a lemmy thing, my bad) and the posts on that sub are already rolling out the sinophobia.

This isn’t meant to be a brigade against one user or platform, it’s more I’m shocked that sub has being allowed given the abject shit takes and bigotry that meme sub reddit generates and I find that concern tracks when past problematic users are being made mods for it.

Or is that just another lemmy instance? Ngl it all gets a bit confusing for me trapped here on lemmygrad.

Edit: I think it’s a lemmy.perthchat sub not a beehaw sub, apologies for any confusion. Still PCM is a disgrace regardless and the fact there’s one connected to lemmy now is a bit 🤮

        I know I should but I’m abusive to myself and I’ll not block it on the grounds of “it’s better to be aware of the shit than ignore it” because that’s smart and healthy /s

        Correction: we can delete stuff from other instances but it will only delete it for lemmygrad users, so there’s very little to be gained from that. Other instances will still be able to see the content except us so we would effectively be isolating ourselves if we removed stuff, for example, on the grounds that it’s lib stuff from lemmy.ml. Expected but not particularly egregious to warrant a removal (not like it’s gore spam like there’s been going around some time ago).

        I think (ie. to the best of my knowledge) we don’t see those posts because they are made by beehaw and sopuli users which are two instances that blacklisted lemmygrad.
