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.
Having not actually run into any of the mentioned nazi content myself, I don't feel personally invested in defederation.
I personally prefer for the nazis to be clustered together in one corner so that it's easy to mute or block them without their knowledge, and I do have some apprehension against defederating this early and causing them to scatter into wind on other instances.
If any of those comms they're moderating actually have nazi content, it should be an easy decision to cut them lose since we have a vested interest in keeping that shit off our servers, but if the fear is simply that the right-lean of the comms may create a place for nazis to gather then I might be on the side of waiting for signs of infection before amputation.
