r/The_Donald now on Lemmy - Lemmy Online
lemmyonline.com
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]

    For clarity I’m fully behind yeeting this junk from here.
    Nothing of value would be lost.
    Didn’t mean to downplay what they’re trying to be nor how we should react.
    I do think defederation is a bit much, or more accurately, it is worrisome that defederation would be the best tool for a remote instance to deal with that.
    All the more reason for us to deal with it.

      Nah, that’s just giving in to bully tactics. If we’re banning communities because other instances threaten to defederate, what exactly is the point of running a separate instance?

      We should ban users and communities because they break our rules, not because someone else on another community doesn’t agree with how we decide to run this instance.

        I’m not saying to ban them because of outside pressure, I’m saying to ban then because there’s absolutely no value in having them here.
        Like the only possible reason for that troll doing good thing was to stir shit.
        It’s like some random guy taking a shit in your living room, maybe your family won’t come over maybe they will, but it still smells like shit.

          I don’t get your analogy. Someone starting a community doesn’t impact me at all because I don’t have to ever see it. Someone trolling in comments is annoying, so I just report and block them and don’t see it anymore.

          So it’s more like a channel existing on my TV that I absolutely hate, so I just don’t ever watch that channel.

          I never saw that person’s posts, and the only reason I even knew about it was this thread, and within a day it was gone. It’s the definition of non-news. Things like this are annoying for a day or so, and then the community takes care of it and it’s done.

          So it seems like this person achieved their goal of riling people up. Instead of making drama, just report, block, and move on.
