r/The_Donald now on Lemmy - Lemmy Online

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 [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] 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: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

    I could be wrong here (so forgive me), but wasn’t one of the reasons that people flocked to this instance and others was because they didn’t want some ‘overseer’ to make judgments on their behalf? Did they not come here for the freedom to choose what was important and meaningful to them and disregard that which wasn’t?

    I realize that there are growing pains going on here - that these instances which have been fairly unknown and relatively steady in their user base have now exploded in popularity and have caused many an issue upon communities and admins that were not prepared for such an explosive influx of users.

    If we all really want to come together as a community, I believe it is important to understand all of the dynamics that are currently evolving and allow some time for all of this tumult (and influx of users) to settle down before demanding certain actions to be taken.

      Personally, I came to sh.itjustworks because when choosing a server the message was “these more popular servers aren’t taking new people, go elsewhere.”

      It said that there would be no bigotry tolerated and I took that at face value and it generally aligned with what I was looking for otherwise and was accepting new users, so I signed up.

      I can’t speak for others.

      Now how that’s evolving (Agora, etc) so it’s a work in progress and you’re right, things aren’t necessarily moving on a timeline that suits everyone (including me) because many people are not used to situations where we’re having to figure it out as we go along, so here we are.
