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?

Wasn't The Donald originally a subreddit making fun of trump? I saw that TD was created here but my assumption was they wanted to restore the original purpose. I haven't looked at it since then though.

Edit: Nope. It is in fact a pro trump community.

At the very beginning, yes. The tricky thing with having fun pretending to be bigots is that you eventually find yourself surrounded by actual bigots who very much missed the fact that you were joking.

Trump was a joke until suddenly he wasn't.

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

He's still a joke, just one that stopped being funny a long time ago.

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

No, he's still a joke. It's just America is a joke too.

I think that's the one I saw originally.

Maybe for the first few weeks, then it stopped being a joke.
