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

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:

As an early Mastodon user, it went through something like this when overt Nazis (gab, et al) federated and often used misleading names for instances. The result was an immediate reaction in disgust from the vast majority of the fediverse and rampant defederations of hateful instances.
As an early Mastodon once-user - mostly just to try self-hosting 4fun - that all mostly flew over my head and I’m hoping to do the same here. Though I did mostly follow Pawoo/Baraag artists, which I believe puts me on a similar side of history to said Nazis by current standards? I can’t say I’m thrilled by the association but I do get it at least. At the end of the day, to me it just feels silly to get hung up on moderation policies set by people who have never met me, and whom I have never met.
And realistically, the main thing that tapered my interest in Mastodon is I have no idea how to become addicted to Twitter/Twitter-likes. 🤣 I should try again sometime, Misskey seems nice.
Hateful instance run by hateful admin? Sure defederate it. Don’t defederate instances because they’re trying to be more open and popular.
