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 [email protected] 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 :)

It could be extra moderation work, but I think it's a bad line to cross to assume everyone on an instance is guilty before they've actually done something bad.

Bad comments can come from anywhere though and mods still have to remove them.

No one is saying everyone in the instance is guilty; people are saying that the instance is going to become toxic to the point where it becomes hard to tell.

If you are in that instance and don't want to tied to this rhetoric, talk to your admin about banning the Donald.

Defederation is basically treating them like so. I mean, I get it, moderation is hard AF, but pre-emptive defederation when we haven't even seen a ton of toxicity from sh.itjust.works yet is not a good precedent.
