The Lemmy Club is currently suffering from "The Nazi Bar" problem. All of their top communities are run by three right-wingers as illustrated below.
The Lemmy Club instance admin doesn't seem to want to ban them, for the reasons mentioned below:
This vote is on whether or not we should defederate from this instance until they address their Nazi Bar problem.
Upvote = for defederation. Downvote = against defederation.
Edit: As others have mentioned, happy to treat this a only a temporary measure until the problem is resolved.
Edit 2: The Lemmy Club admin has said they will implement a rule against right wing communities, and has taken action on some problematic posts and users (see original comments below).
I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to the admin here, as they have responded in good faith:
If you implement those changes then I’d be willing to withdraw the defederation proposal and consider the problem resolved.
Gotcha, thanks.
I feel like we're gonna head towards that community schism sooner rather than later. I'm glad for you that the decision doesn't lie solely in your hands thanks to the governance system. Hang in there.
Thank you both for the great read.
My initial reaction was "defed", but now that I've seen this back-and-forth, I'm going to remove it and stay ~~neutral~~ in the b&b camp as well.
