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 :)

Defederating from an entire instance for one community seems a bit overblown tbh. Blocking would prob be effective enough. That said, beehaw will likely be most proactive in removing td nonsense from its feed

Leave it to Redditors to be OK with everything turning into a Nazi bar.

No it's not that. Lots of us never interacted with that sub. Just block them no need to defederate a while instance

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 25 points 1 year ago

If the instance won't kill the sub, the members of the sub will take over that instance.

I'm seeing some people testing the waters of some subs to see what they can get away with.

a better analogy is dropping the whole town the nazi bar is in

[–] Ado@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, the vast universe of Lemmy is like a fucking bar lmao. Great analogy

sh.itjust.works hosts it. They should kick them out.

[–] Alexmitter@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

As soon as they brake rules they absolutely should be banned.

[–] Felemuso@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Hm, is it possible the community was already kicked by the instance? I don't find it.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 year ago

I don't think it is. R/The_Donald was a cancer on Reddit, spreading around and harming other communities. If an instance is willing to tolerate a community like that, I don't see the value of anything else in that instance.

It's not overblown. It's sending a message to the admins of that instance.

Blocking the community itself is the smallest Band-Aid in the world. The kinds of users who join that instance for that community aren't going to be quarantined to just that community.

[–] Lols@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

its entirely overblown, the smallest band-aid in the the world is entirely appropriate for one user shitposting
