Lemmy.world still discussing if they want to defederate from an instance taken over by exploding-heads.

An instance that includes such gems as

CW Transphobia, Homophobiahttps://rammy.site/post/326086

Strange pattern emerging from lemmy.world with an admin advertising their business in the adhd community, allowing virulently Islamophobic atheistmemes community and now repeating the exploding-heads (we have to patiently discuss blocking the instance) course of action instead of a preemptive defederation, it is their last resort though.

The post on lemmy.world discussing it as well: https://lemmy.world/post/2680147

As of this post the blocked instances are here

So what's the deal with exploding heads? I was familiar with it a year ago and dismissed it because it had nothing except thousands of news posts by the admin. And that wasn't just one glance, that's all it was for a while, and basically the only place that federated with it died before the big reddit exodus.

Did it actually get an audience of anti-vaxxers and become non-trivial?

Was looking for something more helpful.

I don't understand? What more do you want? They have always been nazis who are smart enough to try and barely hide their "power level".

Like I said, I was familiar with the place a year ago, I realize it's a rightoid instance. At the time, it was essentially a single person. I'm wondering if that's no longer the case, and it's actually become relevant since then.

Hence the question: "Did it actually get an audience of anti-vaxxers and become non-trivial?"
