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: @donut @TheDude @smorks

edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)

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.

I actually have an old file server under my desk I'm tinkering with and using for my nextcloud I'm just paranoid that I won't have it set up properly in terms of the security I have on it otherwise i would have spun up a Lemmy instance weeks ago lol. I've daily driven Arch Linux on my gaming desktop for years at this point so I'm not exactly unfamiliar with a command line.

You wouldn't have to do that if users had the power to block entire instances themselves. It's stupid that we have to discuss with mods about something that should be completely within our control.
