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
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.
so because the donald was on reddit, the entire reddit community was taken over?
At the height of it, yes. It filled up the front page every single day and made the site absolutely reek.
It's what made me stop browsing /r/all, drop off most default subs, and stick to only my subscribed subs. Brigading and spamming is the whole point.
It had a massive impact on the "culture" of the website and would have kept spreading quite effectively if the admins weren't pressured to quarantine it for PR reasons.
Users need the ability to block entire instances. Problem solved.
Dude, it is one community with a whopping 9 subscribers and every single post is sitting at negative.
Y'all need to calm down.
Have you read the linked story? Because it stands exactly counter to what you are saying.
a better analogy is dropping the whole town the nazi bar is in
Yes, the vast universe of Lemmy is like a fucking bar lmao. Great analogy
