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?

Nine people dining at a table with a Nazi means you have ten Nazis.

This doesn't make any sense.

One of my long time friends is a genuine racist. Am I a racist then too because I'm friends with him even though our views on this topic (and many others) differ quite dramatically?

Depends. Do you just keep your silence or do you call them out when they're being shitty?

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree that it depends. However such nuance was not included in the original statement. It was absolute

[–] cstine@lemmy.uncomfortable.business 7 points 1 year ago

Oh, no, it is absolute: if you say and do nothing, then at best, you're allowing the harm they cause to happen, and at worse reinforcing their behavior.

So yes, if you have racist friends and you sit silently then yes, you're a racist supporter.
