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.
The comms were essentially dead. It's hard to say anything 'thrived' there. The posts in question had zero interaction. Of course it's concerning it was there at all however these were not "communities" where any kind of discussion happened. 2 people would've made a large silent majority of people who were actually browsing in these comms on a weekly basis.
If this had been somewhere where people actually made comments or posted more than a handful of times a month (there were 12 posts and 6 comments in the entire history of the comm) - I'm sure I would have identified and taken action earlier. Additionally, they were both video posts. It's entirely possible nobody ever clicked on them to watch them and I don't know these videos by title and did not realize what they were, and without further action to prompt me I did not look further into them.
Of course I will be more vigilant going forward.
