Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?

I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.

If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?

    You can check which instances are federated and which are blocked by opening the instance in a browser and scrolling to the bottom and clicking “instances”.

    Lemm.ee is federated with exploding-heads.com that’s why OP is seeing racist shit.

      Yeah. It’s very disappointing that the admin of this instance hasn’t done that. For now, I’ve just blocked all the communities I’ve seen, but I’m considering switching instances at some point because fuck those literal Nazis.
