The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

"Just let the nazis congregate... it could turn out ok!"
I mean if they start saying outright nazi shit it's already in the rules there that they get the boot. But one person getting off to themselves making cringe political memes that were old nearly a decade ago is, well, just that.
I guess I just think that it's a teeny, tiny bit dangerous to make out like this is actually them hosting a community of nazis, when it's essentially one user -- we have no idea how many of the small handful of people subscribed to it share their affiliations, versus how many are subbed just to keep an eye on their bs or even just to downvote their posts (personally I think those people would be wasting their time, but they certainly exist).
What @[email protected] said seemed pretty believable to me:
(Much as I agree it's unnecessary to get communal consent to nuke what could only develop -- at best -- into a well of negativity.)
I think that at best he'll just get bored. I think that what you say is the "at worst". The slightly durable version would probably be something in the middle with a couple more peeps egging him on and then getting banned cuz they went a bit over the top.
That's why I'm not really worried either way. Unless they 100% fail to enforce their own rule, the second it goes beyond braindead political shitposting he's going to be out of there anyway.
Having a rule against bigotry that is entirely ignored would be much more concerning than one wayward fool anyway.
Well, if they would congregate, they would be easier to identify and block/ban.
They do congregate. And they have already been banned. Lol. Their main communities are elsewhere. The TD instance is defederated. This is just some guy with too much time, thick skin and a bit of sadism trying to bother people with his ideas.
