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.
I'm for temporary defederation if the admin does not react to an ultimatum to clean house. Being federated means increasing the reach of their message, and the message is hate. If Xitter was worth banning, then this is too.
The admin seems caught in the tolerance paradoxon, and doesn't realize that his inaction is an indirect endorsement of the content he's hosting. Seems to be too nice for his own good, maybe a warning cannon salvo is in order.
