(not sure if this is the right community, sorry)

Hi, someone posted this on another server. I'd like to request we defederate with rammy.site and exploding-heads.com as well. I scrolled through some of their posts and comments and it's full of ridiculous anti-left propaganda, for example a post where some liberal Florida family fleeing the state when some child protection laws got passed, implying liberals abuse children and won't live in a state that doesn't allow them to. Just take a look for yourself.

" Admins of Lemmy.ml please consider defederating from rammy.site it has been taken over by right wing malicious actors from exploding-heads.com and the admin is nowhere to be found.

It is imperative that you take action as soon as possible the users on rammy are using the site to spread their messages to a further audience, we must nip this in the bud. If you don't believe me check the instance for yourself, you'll see it dominated with bigoted right wing posts and spam communities."

Edit: So many commenters think this is about political opinions or disagreement. It's not. If I said "Mixing bleach and ammonia is good for you" I bet some of you would call that a political disagreement.

I see nothing wrong with that, they're their own instance and can do what they want, isn't that the point of Lemmy?

I don't view SDF as an org that would choose to remain federated with rammy, but I could be wrong. And if I am, I will leave and choose another instance. I chose it because it's local, has good uptime, and has a good history on the internet.

That's right, there is nothing wrong with what they (Beehaw) are doing. Some people find it desirable and join them due to that, others find it detracting and do not join, and even more people don't care one way or the other. People join instances for all sorts of reasons and variety helps create interesting choices.

I just mentioned what Beehaw was notable for doing in recent history since you were curious. Their actions did generate "a bit of buzz" on the Internet so people kind of associate them for the actions that they have taken.
