Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities? (lemm.ee)

There's a new one suddenly popping up in my feed but obviously the reports are being "resolved" by the mods of that community. They suggested to me that I block their community but I will not because that is how you get a cesspit of an instance. How do we report disinformation communities straight to the admins?

Edit: the admins did remove the community in question so I'm going to take that as the official stance on disinformation communities and also assume that any type of community (right wing, left wing, or other) that are intentionally spreading disinformation will be removed. That makes me feel much better about the situation since this type of thing is pretty much guaranteed to pop up again.

This instance is still federated with explodingheads, so I wouldn't expect anything to come of this. I saw the community you're speaking about and it seems to be pretty small-time. You're best off just blocking it.

Do I even want to know what that is? I'll give the admins a chance to respond but if I don't agree with the response I'll just delete my account here, because otherwise more of this will pop up and I'll have the entire instance blocked and then what's the point?

Explodingheads is an edgy, red-pilled, manosphere-loving, alt-right instance. A real den of scum and villainy type place. Many of the larger instances have already de-federated with them.

I have to say, though, despite the fact that Lemm.ee hasn't yet followed suit, I haven't seen any posts from there in the local/all feeds.

I haven't noticed any of it either, obviously since I was unaware lol I think there's a difference between defederating from it if it's causing an issue and showing up on feeds and actually hosting it though.

I spoke too soon in my other comment. It's here. [email protected] (eye roll). That looks like it was just created so if the admins don't squash it now it'll take over the entire instance.

Are you saying you're concerned that a small politics community that has one downvoted post of an article is going to take over this instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This type of community in general. When they are not dealt with it attracts the type of user who causes problems associated with that type of community and they tend to proliferate.

I just checked, it's gone.
