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? edit: to contact the admins:

I am massively against defederation when at all possible- However, I will draw the line at illegal content.
The reason being- when content is federated, a copy of it is stored on all subscribed instances.
I REALLY don’t want the feds knocking on my door. So- I will take a strict stance there, for protecting my own well-being. My server isn’t hosted in a country where anything goes.
If- it is content which is against the rules of the instance where it was posted- by all means, I will give the admins a chance to handle the issue. Otherwise- nuclear option.
You are right to be concerned here. Since it touts self hosting, storage should’ve been decentralized and encryption designed in a way to legally protect hosters. Alas, we have what we have, which will require a lot of moderation until it matures more. Fingers crossed. Being responsible is the best we can do right now.
