It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.

In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.

The instance-admin of [email protected] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.

The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.

Where are the instances that show face against racism?

    Defederating from an entire instance for one community seems a bit overblown tbh. Blocking would prob be effective enough. That said, beehaw will likely be most proactive in removing td nonsense from its feed

        Dude, it is one community with a whopping 9 subscribers and every single post is sitting at negative.

        Y’all need to calm down.

          Have you read the linked story? Because it stands exactly counter to what you are saying.

        No it’s not that. Lots of us never interacted with that sub. Just block them no need to defederate a while instance

          If the instance won’t kill the sub, the members of the sub will take over that instance.

          I’m seeing some people testing the waters of some subs to see what they can get away with.

              At the height of it, yes. It filled up the front page every single day and made the site absolutely reek.

              It’s what made me stop browsing /r/all, drop off most default subs, and stick to only my subscribed subs. Brigading and spamming is the whole point.

              It had a massive impact on the “culture” of the website and would have kept spreading quite effectively if the admins weren’t pressured to quarantine it for PR reasons.

        Yeah, defederation isn’t an answer to this, or if it is, it’s an absolute last resort. First they have to do something wrong, then the instance should ban them, if they fail to act and the community is doing something wrong, then you talk about defederating.

        Hm, is it possible the community was already kicked by the instance? I don’t find it.

      I don’t think it is. R/The_Donald was a cancer on Reddit, spreading around and harming other communities. If an instance is willing to tolerate a community like that, I don’t see the value of anything else in that instance.

        when i was a christian there was this story that would be told that went something like this:

        “one day a kid was caught by their parent doing something they knew they weren’t supposed to do. it was just a small thing with no real consequences, but it was against the rules of the house and therefore the kid was being disobedient. when the parent confronted the kid about the behavior the kid argued that it was harmless and that it was ok. the parent, seeing an opportunity to teach the kid a lesson, said ‘ok’ and left. several hours later the parent called the kid into the kitchen where they’d made brownies. the parent offered the kid a brownie who readily accepted. as the kid reached for a brownie the parent stopped them and said ‘oh, but first you should know, theres a small piece of cat poop in there, but it’s ok, it’s just a small piece and i put it in that corner over there’. the kid reeled in disgust and said they didn’t want the brownies anymore. ‘why?’ the parent inquired, ‘it’s just a small piece and won’t hurt anyone as long as they stay away from that small corner’. the kid, then realized the importance of obedience in every way.”

        total bullshit story, but like all christian bullshit there’s a kernel of truth in there. one small nazi ruins the whole batch of brownies.

      If they want that community on their instance I don’t want to interact with their instance. I guess at this point I should just spin up my own instance and federate via whitelist.

        it’s really easy, I spun up my own instance in a morning. Ok, I am a sysadmin and programmer, but it really wasn’t very difficult and didn’t require much beyond creating a VPS and DNS entry along with basic abilities at the command line to use the ansible playbook.

      The problem isn’t just that community, it’s the people who follow. They’re not the kind of people we should try to attract here.

      They’re probably the same people who were active in fatpeoplehate and other malicious subs too, and it’s better not to wait for that to happen. If it doesn’t get handled now, their toxicity will likely spill over into other communities

        FWIW, I certainly don’t support that shit even though I made that instance my “home”, not knowing that one guy’s cesspool even existed there.
        I chose that one because it’s near me, hosted in a local datacenter, uses hydro power and has good performance.
        I will be glad to let my voice be heard when we discuss and vote about this troll’s fate in the Agora over there (which feels very much like the polar opposite of that troll’s bullshit).
        As far as I can tell it has no support from the instance’s members.

        I think our admin was busy upgrading to 0.18 while this was posted, hopefully this gets addressed soon and I’m prepared to move on from there if it isn’t.

        Having interacted with decent people there, I hope we’ll sort this out.

      It’s not overblown. It’s sending a message to the admins of that instance.

      Blocking the community itself is the smallest Band-Aid in the world. The kinds of users who join that instance for that community aren’t going to be quarantined to just that community.
